01 / Context

The FORCE project and Lisbon's challenge

The FORCE project (From Organic waste to Resources through City Economies) was funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 program, with the goal of developing and testing new models for managing organic waste in urban settings.

Lisbon was one of the pilot cities, with Lisbon City Council leading the national consortium — the "Lisboa Zero" project. The challenge was to monitor in real time the impact of food-waste reduction initiatives across the city, aggregate indicators from multiple sources and produce the progress reports required by the European Commission.

Inovamatic was selected, in partnership with the design agency Ad Store, to develop the KPI dashboard and reporting interface for the Lisboa Zero project.

A central dashboard for monitoring and European reporting.

A web platform for two audiences: the operational team in Lisbon and the auditors at the European Commission. Real-time data, aggregated from multiple consortium entities.
