The Smart Cities Marketplace and Scalable Cities are separate initiatives of the European Commission. Both play an important role in accelerating the just and green transition of European cities. They improve citizens’ quality of life, enhance the competitiveness of cities and industry, and help achieve European energy and climate targets across urban sectors like transport, mobility, logistics, built environment, energy infrastructures, urban data, digital assets, environment, citizen engagement and urban governance.
Smart Cities Marketplace
The Smart Cities Marketplace aims to ENGAGE cities and towns of all sizes to deliver more sustainable urban environments and offers all the information needed to EXPLORE solutions, SHAPE sustainable urban projects, and successfully close a DEAL for financing them. It offers a complete catalogue of support such as calls for free technical assistance, 1-to-1-consultancy services for city-led consortia close to the financing stage, financing masterclasses and fine-tuned assistance/matchmaking for the financing of sustainable urban projects.
