Intelligent Cities Challenge – Applications Open
APPLY BY 29 MAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR CITY!
Building on the success of the Digital Cities Challenge, the European Commission launched the follow-up Intelligent Cities Challenge (ICC). This programme will offer 100 cities across the EU the unique opportunity to join a community that leverages advanced technologies to tackle the ongoing pandemic and reconstruct their economies while steering them in the direction of green, smart, sustainable growth. Taking part in the challenge will help cities to improve their citizens’ quality of life and to create new opportunities for their business communities.
WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN?
Selected cities will receive high-quality, tailored guidance and expert support, access to European and international advisory and city peer networks, and capability building tools, to drive priority policy goals and the uptake of advanced technologies.
Through its action-oriented and collaborative approach, the ICC will support cities to:
- Identify local strengths and needs to setpriorities through performance assessments, the definition of strategic goals and the implementation roadmaps
- Engage in long-termcollaborations to co-design and co-create approaches to digital transformation, such open data, city solutions and collective investments/procurements
- Learn from and share experiences with local and international peers and mentors
HOW TO APPLY?
Cities or city consortiums can apply by filling in the ICC Expression of Interest and submitting it to the ICC website by 29 May 2020 11:59 p.m. CET.
