Dear Smart Cities Marketplace Community,
|
The Smart Cities Marketplace is kicking off 2025 with a webinar on how cities can use innovation from companies and universities to achieve a sustainable and just transition.
In 2025, the Smart Cities Marketplace will continue to support cities through technical assistance, Matchmaking services, and new publications. Stay tuned for new solution booklets, the last episode of Urban Reverb's season two, and exciting webinars and events organised for you.
We hope that 2025 will be a year of change for cities, encouraging more cities to transition towards becoming more sustainable and liveable spaces.
Your Smart Cities Marketplace Team
