The startup idea is based on a simple observation : A city is nothing without citizen. Indeed “they are the heart of the city”. Zen City\u2019s mainly customers and users are city council, elected representative or communication officer.\nHow is it working on ?\nThe start-up is already working with 10 Israeli cities as Tel Aviv, Beer-Sheva, El\u2019ad, or Ramat Gan and has cities pilots in United States.\nIn Beer-Sheva city for example the algorithm succeeded to analysis 400 000 interactions for a month out of 186 000 inhabitants (registered by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics in 2006). This digital system allow the city to get concrete information instead of using the old system of public enquiries based on phone calls.\n\nZen City’s targets\nNoa Zeldin, the Business Development Manager is targeting the European market. Zen City is already working with Paris city council in France as they deployed the algorithm in Hebrew, English and now they released it in French. Noa is facing challenges about the artificial intelligence system to recognise sarcasm or cynical comments for example. She reports: \u201cwe need to teach the algorithm to understand the context\u201d. Indeed a meaning behind every language is hidden and that is what they are working on.\nHowever the start-up has reached 80% accuracy on citizen feelings in Paris that is a very high rate. Noa Zeldin is now prospecting main cities in France like Marseille, Lyon, Nantes, Lille, Nice, Toulouse, or Montpellier. Noa is clear about the target: The algorithm is \u201cready to work on every city!\u201d no matter the size of them.\n\nFind out more on Zen City website :\u00a0http:\/\/zencity.io\/#products\u00a0\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Israel :\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n","author":75,"featured_media":4078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5764,5761,5763,5766,5751,5753,5760,5750,5772,5762],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28902","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-photos-videos","tag-trending","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":"true","chapo":"Zen City is a unique concept: collecting data\u2019s from social networks or citizen platform to analysis what people are feeling toward their city.
