City Of Fremont Seeks GIS Startup Partner For Stir 2020 Program

From the City of Fremont:

February 8, 2020

The City of Fremont will again be participating in Startup in Residence (STIR), a 16-week program that connects government agencies with startups to co-create new technology solutions that address civic challenges in a sustainable way.

This year, the Fremont ITS Department’s GIS Division is seeking a startup that will partner with the City to develop three ArcGIS online interactive mapping tools referred to as “Story Maps.” “Story Maps” is an ArcGIS Esri-supported application tool that combines authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content to create compelling, user-friendly web apps.

These maps of the City Council Districts, Parks and Recreation Services and Locations, and Landmarks and Historical Locations in the City of Fremont will provide website visitors with more accessible and mobile-friendly information about the City’s services, resources, and history.

Interested startups can find more information and requirements in the Request for Proposals. Proposals are due by February 18 at 2 p.m. If selected, the 16-week STiR residency will begin March 2020.
