Submit your city/municipalities projects around that have successfully leveraged smart city technologies and innovation. If you have successfully completed a project that highlights smart cities technology and innovation, this contest is for you!

 

Providing a submission gives the opportunity to be recognized by IEEE. It can open doors to network with other municipalities on a global base to learn, and foster collaborate with other cities and municipalities. Contest finalists will receive the recognition from IEEE Smart Cities - a qualified endorsement from IEEE to provide credibility in implementing for future projects. In addition, contest finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their project at IEEE International Smart Cities Conference (ISC2).
