E015 is a machine-to-machine API interoperability ecosystem built for Expo Milano 2015 and kept running afterwards under Regione Lombardia. Public and private members publish and consume shared data flows — transport, tourism, events, mobility — under common guidelines and a public-private steering committee. As of 2026 its catalogue lists 300+ APIs and 170+ applications, mostly across the Lombardy region.

Live 📅 since 2013
