EIP-SCC Marketplace Matchmaking Event at Smart City Expo World Congress 14 November 2018 in Barcelona, Spain

As urban populations swell, infrastructure needs mount and budget constraints loom, cities and their citizens need help to move urgent civic improvement projects forward. We have expanded our activities to matchmaking: an opportunity for cities and the private sector to connect with financiers around specific project discussions. It is our aim to bridge the gap of access to finance and to build the connections between the various players needed for projects to happen.

This online platform was launched in May 2018 and facilitates these urban project promoters and financiers to connect online, in order to facilitate meaningful connections to happen offline. We are regularly organising events with coordinated meetings between those who submit projects and the financiers - the next one will take place in Barcelona during the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) on 14 November 2018.
