In the following the profile of DISIT lab is reported. On the other hand, there are a number of companies that work on Snap4City technologies  such as: Snap4, AEDIT, Syn-Er-Gy, Smartea, etc. which could be involved when a company is needed. Snap4City is also in connection with many cities and administrator and industrial partners.

The University of Florence (UNIFI) is an important and influential centre for research and higher training in Italy, with 1,800 lecturers and internal research staff, 1,600 technical and administrative staff, and over 1,600 research assistants and doctoral students. It offers a wide range of study programmes at various levels and in all areas of knowledge. It is one of the largest and most productive public research systems in Italy. UNIFI participates at the project with Information Engineering Department (DINFO) - Distributed Systems and Internet Technologies Lab (DISIT Lab).

The DISIT Lab is active since 1994, as one of the most active labs on ICT of the University of Florence, metropolitan Tuscany area, and it is an official Regional Lab in Tuscany. DISIT successfully developed a relevant number of International and National research, development and innovation projects and direct contract with industries and public administrations mainly cities and regions. DISIT Lab is strongly active in the area of Smart City and communities, industry 4.0, data mining and understanding, semantic computing, artificial intelligence, big data, data analytics, knowledge mining and representation, semantic models, linked open data, formal models, security and privacy, GDPR. Are noticeable DISIT algorithms and solutions for: early warning, anomaly detections, predictions, traffic flow reconstruction and predictions, smart parking, smart biking, bike sharing, recognition, disambiguation, user behaviour analysis, pollutant flow predictions, recommendation, user profiling, indoor/outdoor navigation, matchmaking, decision support, sentient and autonomous agents and tools, 15Min Indexing for cities, etc.

In the recent years, a special attention has been given to big data analysis for people flows, pedestrian, and vehicles by means of data analysis coming from mobile, sensors, cell phones, etc., such as evident from the publications and projects. The DISIT research group consists of about 20 people working on smart city, industry 4.0, data analytics, big data analysis with a special care to on domains of mobility and transport, environment, energy, health, justice, retail, quality of life. DISIT lab has a dedicated datacenter for bigdata solutions on which https://www.snap4city.org and Twitter Vigilance are operated, providing services for a large number of cities and regions.
