Helping European cities tackle COVID19

Could your city be a centre of urban innovation? The Intelligent Cities Challenge is looking for 100 cities to join this unique opportunity.

Cities across Europe are living unprecedented times. The Intelligent Cities Challenge offers a community that leverages advanced technologies to become more “intelligent”, green and digital, but also more resilient face to the pandemic crisis.

The selected cities will receive:

• High quality and tailored guidance
• Expert support
• Access to advisory and city peer networks
• Capability building tools to drive policy goals and uptake of advance technologies

The 30-month programme will include more than 100 days of local visits, events, network support activities and much more. Through this initiative, cities can identify local strengths and formulate priorities, engage in new partnerships with other cities and learn from peers and mentors.

To help cities adapt to new challenging circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic, ICC is offering webinars, a collection of cities’ best practices addressing both the health crisis and economic recovery, and other useful materials. Do not miss this opportunity!

To support cities in the current crisis, the Intelligent Cities Challenge have made available dedicated resources:

• Interactive webinars: two webinars on fighting the coronavirus at a city-level and building cities’ resilience are now available for download. A new webinar on finance will be held soon, register now. 
• Good city practices: case studies of technology-based actions that cities are implementing to support their citizens during the pandemic. 
• Useful links
