The City&Me app, made by the STP Niš member company JustStart, has created a sticker pack inspired by our city in cooperation with Viber.
Famous Niš locations and Niš phrases will enrich communication and evoke the southern spirit on this popular digital platform, while everyone who downloads this sticker pack will also become users of the first City&Me chatbot on Viber.
The City&Me app is envisioned as a digital virtual assistant intended for the citizens of Niš and all visitors, who can use it to receive current service information, information about a location with recycling spots, latest news on covid, as well as a trivia quiz about Niš.
If you have not downloaded these fantastic stickers yet, you can do that on this link.

Yesterday, within the Mobility 2022 business conference held in Ljubljana, we had the opportunity to present the City of Niš as an example of good practice as a city developing rapidly in the field of applying innovations and high technologies.
At the “Joint Creation of Future Cities” round table, we looked back on how we grew from a city of electronics into a city of advanced technologies, which solutions and methods we turned to, and what our focuses were on that path of rebranding the southeastern Serbia region.\
The Mobility 2022 – Smart Spaces for Living conference put the discussion emphasis on the main points of living and working in a smart living environment through examples of cities in the Western Balkan region, considering possible solutions for the individual and the community as well as corporate business regarding smart spaces of the future.
