#smart ecosystems 

Leading regional innovation ecosystems rely on the power of collaboration between the business, science and public community. Key assets of an attractive business location are: easy access to multiple types of technology, talent and funding. By having parties become partners and share an agenda, they can help a city to easier address its challenges in for example public safety, traffic flows, energy consumption, waste reduction and water management.

#datadriven platforms

As representative of its residents and guardian the public space, a city should carefully consider the development of urban data platform for its data-driven services. Not only for creating the right framework conditions in digital infrastructure and software architecture for data exchange, but especially in leadership, governance and stakeholder management. Certainly when private parties are offer new services, by collecting real-time data from sensors, objects and vehicles.

#futureproof society

To make cities futureproof, we make use of what we call reverse city marketing. Instead of showcasing the city’s assets to attract investment, we display the cities key societal challenges. We take problem-solving approach by showing the city’s vulnerability and being honest that public authorities need the business and science community for help. In times of data-driven solutions, we create new business opportunities and let our citizens benefit.
