Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality is writing to express its strong interest in participating as a partner organization in the Digital Europe Programme matchmaking activities and upcoming Digital Europe Programme project proposals. The Digital Europe Programme’s objectives — including digital transformation, advanced digital skills, AI, and the deployment of digital technologies — are fully aligned with Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality’s strategic goals for regional digital modernization and public service innovation.

As a public institution with a proven track record in managing and implementing EU-funded projects, municipal and regional development programmes, and community engagement initiatives, Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality brings the following strengths to potential consortia:

• Institutional Capability: Experience in EU programme participation, including Horizon Europe and other EU funds; established project management infrastructure.

• Digital Transformation Commitment: Strategic plans to enhance digital and smart city services, inclusive digital access, and advanced e-governance solutions for citizens.

• Stakeholder Network: Strong partnerships in academia, local SMEs, technology providers, public agencies, and civil society actors — enabling broad ecosystem engagement.

• Public Impact Orientation: Focus on inclusive digital skills development, resilient local digital infrastructures, and socially equitable digital services.

We believe that our active involvement as a partner will enhance consortium quality and contribute meaningfully to achieving the Digital Europe Programme’s goals. We are especially interested in cooperating on topics such as advanced digital skills, deployment of digital technologies, AI solutions for municipal services, and smart city innovation models.
