About the Digital Strategy of the Municipality of Kranj

The Municipality of Kranj is a city with a rich history and many ambitions, continuously developing to improve the quality of life for its residents. The Digital Development Strategy presents the vision and roadmap for an open, sustainable, connected, and innovation-driven city.

The digital strategy for the period 2026–2031 is intended for all residents, businesses, institutions, and visitors. Digitalization is not an end in itself—it is a tool for easier living, higher-quality public services, better decision-making, and more efficient management. The strategy is based on international and national development guidelines.

Vision of Digital Kranj

Kranj will become a connected, sustainable, safe, and data-driven smart city where digital solutions improve everyday life, increase accessibility to public services, support sustainable development, and strengthen the local community.

Digitalization is not "Big Brother"

Our goal is not to monitor people, but to use technology responsibly to improve everyday life. Data is collected only when necessary, securely managed, and used transparently.

Digitalization excludes no one

We are committed to ensuring that no one is left behind during digital transformation. Digital solutions must be accessible, understandable, and useful for everyone.
