We’re happy to announce that Mapify established a partnership with NOVA IMS 🤝

This partnership consists in the exchange of knowledge and experiences between Mapify and NOVA IMS, for the development of joint initiatives and cooperation in smart cities projects.

Furthermore, Mapify will provide free access and support to their platform to all professors and students involved in NOVA Cidade: Urban Analytics Lab. The lab is coordinated by professor Miguel de Castro Neto, PhD and Dean of NOVA IMS - Information Management School.
