SMEs Making Cities Smarter

As cities continued to grow, so did the number of challenges they faced. Environmental, economic, or social emerging issues called for new and unproven urban solutions.

The increasing need for urban innovation resulted in the development of a significant number of smart cities initiatives, creating new business opportunities for Mediterranean SMEs. If we wanted our cities to be efficiently managed and more livable for communities, public authorities and SMEs had to work together to come up with the best technological solutions. The project made this collaboration possible by reinforcing the capacities of Mediterranean cities and SMEs.

Furthermore, our project helped cities become the front-runners of innovation, particularly through public procurement of innovative solutions. It also worked closely with Mediterranean SMEs to guarantee that their products and services met the expectations and needs of smart cities.
