Dear Reader,
I hope you and your beloved ones stay healthy and safe during these challenging times!
MAtchUP has also been partially impacted by the COVID19 pandemic as some activities have slowed down. Despite this, we still managed to make significant progress over the past months on our mission to repaint smart cities. We have so many examples to mention! 

But there's more! We have just launched our Network of cities, which will be soon available on our website. If your city or network wants to join us, write to info@matchup-project.eu, we're eager to collaborate with you!

At this point, I am sure you’d like to dive into the latest news from MAtchUP. So I’ll leave you to it and wish you to enjoy your Christmas holidays. See you in 2021, I’m sure it will be a colourful year!
