    Alba Iulia - Integrated Action Plan

    A better life for the locals in Alba Iulia and a friendly town for the tourists who are visiting us this is how we can resume the scope of all our IAP. Through this integrated strategy Alba Iulia Municipality wants to create the right environment to accelerate the digital transformation of businesses, organisations and public administrations, and improve the life of our citizens by becoming a „launch pad" for developing and implementing smart solutions meant to attract tourists and to become a more livable town. We support all the smart initiatives and local policy makers to understand the application of advanced technologies and the opportunities they provide, so that they can design flexible, future proof policies, because a digital city is a place in which the life quality of inhabitants comes first.
