VISION
Urban areas are melting pots of new opportunities. It are places where people meet, live, work and enjoy their spare time. It's an area where a known past will meet up with an unknown future.
People are eager to adopt services and products which make their life, work, spare time more enjoyable, more efficient. They are eager to adopt products and services which make them more resilient to future.
Digital Solutions can enable those products and services but cooperation between policy makers, citizens, technology experts and other stakeholders is required to realize new solutions for citizens in urban areas.
Facilitation is needed to bring experts from different disciplines and different regions together and to make them cooperate on digital solution enabled products and services for urban areas.
MISSION
The mission of the SmartCityTech partnership is to facilitate global cooperation between city stakeholders aiming at the development and realization of innovative value models for urban areas enabled by smart systems.
