Launched in 2018 by Paris&Co*, as part of the Quartier d’Innovation Urbaine (QIU) call for projects in the Paris Rive Gauche district (13th arrondissement), Paris2Connect is a fully operational urban infrastructure on a 3.5-kilometre route in the 12th and 13th arrondissements of the capital.
*Paris&Co is the economic development and innovation agency for Paris and the metropolis.
The essence of the Paris2Connect project is to offer a connected infrastructure that is as open as possible to experimentation in order to develop new services. Thus, the first use cases are already being worked on with the City of Paris. They concern the management of the territory and connected mobility.
Solutions have already been tested to make public space more accessible to the visually impaired, to observe mobility. Soon, an autonomous mobility service will be running on the Paris2connect route. You will find examples of use cases for illustration on the dedicated page.
Paris2Connect was launched by the City of Paris and a consortium of 5 companies (ATC France, Aximum, Nokia, RATP, Signify).
The roadway is already used by a number of urban services (bus stops, parking, garbage cans, columns, etc.) and the community does not want to clutter it further. Therefore, some experiments could allow to use Paris2Connect to enhance and optimize the existing.
This experimentation can be an opportunity to test solutions consisting in analysing the public space and preventing possible incivilities or even possible dangers concerning the roadway.
The aim is to propose solutions that meet the challenges of the ecological and energy transition, serving the well-being of residents and, in general, making public space more sustainable.
The urban space can be “augmented” thanks to digital technology in order to offer inhabitants new services.
You have developed solutions and you want to test them? Come and experiment them thanks to Paris2Connect in the following areas: urban planning, accessibility, commerce, tourism, mobility (low-carbon, active, collective), logistics, air quality, cleanliness, public lighting, parking, construction sites and works, citizen participation, reinforcement of the City of the ¼ hour. Give your demonstrations in the perspective of the 2024 Olympic Games and their legacy.
If you are a start-up or a company with a solution ready to be tested, then this call for experiments is for you!
