CityXperiment is an experimentation programme led by Porto Digital that challenges young people of various nationalities to develop technological solutions to real problems in Porto, integrating innovation and international collaboration.

CityXperiment is an experimentation programme promoted by the Municipality of Porto and developed by Porto Digital, which has integrated the city's innovation and digital transition strategy. Through collaboration with the European Innovation Academy, 23 young people of 9 nationalities were challenged to create technological solutions to real challenges, in conjunction with local entities such as the Porto Hospital Centre, Águas e Energia do Porto, Domus Social and Agência de Energia. For two months, participants worked in teams, developed practical proposals and presented an implementation guide with solutions tailored to the identified needs. The success of the pilot edition confirmed the potential of the initiative, which will have a new edition in 2025, in partnership with the University of Porto and the University of Berkeley Durante dois meses, os participantes trabalharam em equipa, desenvolveram propostas práticas e apresentaram um guia de implementação com soluções ajustadas às necessidades identificadas. O sucesso da edição piloto confirmou o potencial da iniciativa, que terá nova edição em 2025, em parceria com a Universidade do Porto e a Universidade de Berkeley.
