Approach and implementation

The project was divided into several work packages. As input to the work packages, two workshops were held to which a wide range of relevant stakeholders were invited. The main themes addressed were challenges in digitalization, services, the need for charging stations, lack of standards, perceived shortcomings in regulations, the municipality´s role and need for collaboration. The projects setup with project partners from different sectors together with information from the workshops provided a good basis for further projects and provided a good constellation of stakeholders.
