Smart Societies is about using technology to strengthen communities and improve everyday life.
Through collaboration in research and development projects, Almende creates digital tools that help people connect, support each other, and organize better.
By enabling stronger, more resilient communities, we contribute directly to making a positive societal impact.
Communities today face growing pressures: social isolation, financial stress, and the need for accessible care and support.
The complexity of modern life often makes it harder for various (groups of) people to find resources or organize effectively.
Traditional support structures can be slow, fragmented, or hard to reach, which leaves individuals without timely or adequate help.
Addressing these challenges requires new, data-driven ways to bring people together and empower them to help themselves and each other.
We envision a society where technology enables individuals and groups to self-organize, collaborate, and take initiative without relying on central authorities.
By developing platforms and digital tools through collaborative R&D projects, Almende helps communities build stronger networks, reduce loneliness, and support vulnerable groups.
Our approach is rooted in the idea of “the commons”: shared resources and collective action for everyone’s benefit.
We use data‑driven innovation to measure and amplify impact, always focusing on solutions that are easy to use and scale across neighborhoods, cities, and rural areas.
Our R&D projects explore technologies that:
Busclub helps people manage their money together, offering tools to reduce financial stress and improve stability.
Originating from R&D collaborations, it shows how digital innovation can support vulnerable groups and promote independence.
