Key insights of the Smart Cities Marketplace matchmaking info session
The Smart Cities Marketplace focuses on supporting cities and consortia in developing projects related to climate neutrality, with a particular emphasis on small and medium-sized cities.
It offers access to funding and financing options through its network of investors, as well as free technical assistance to address gaps in project development.
Cities play a crucial role in achieving climate neutrality due to population concentration and pollution sources, making them a key focus of the Marketplace's efforts. The Smart Cities Marketplace encourages collaboration and networking among cities, stakeholders and investors to foster knowledge exchange and project development. It is agnostic towards specific technologies or project types, as long as they contribute to climate neutrality.
The application process for the Marketplace involves submitting a project idea, providing relevant details and receiving support in refining and implementing the project. You can submit your project idea here. If you need help filling out the application form, consult the Guidance Document or contact the EU Smart Cities Marketplace via the Helpdesk.
