Exchanging with cities and towns of all sizes to deliver more sustainable urban environments.
Our Engage phase actively connects potential Smart Cities Marketplace (SCM) stakeholders to attract more participants to the various SCM journeys. Expanding our reach to ‘unusual suspects’—stakeholders who may not yet be engaged—is essential for achieving large-scale systemic change.
We aim to enhance participation in the ‘Explore, Shape, and Deal’ phases through targeted engagement with small and mid-sized municipalities. This will be achieved through localised communication strategies, compelling visual storytelling—such as videos and podcasts showcasing successful projects—and dynamic event activities. A particular focus will be reaching cities and consortia from underrepresented regions, using tailored Matchmaking events and Masterclasses to foster new connections and opportunities.
