Working together to future-proof our cities
The Future of Cities 2022 connects tech founders with industry partners and municipalities across Canada to reimagine the systems and processes that make our cities work.
The goal: identification, adoption and potential procurement of Canada’s top tech solutions to meet Canada’s top municipal challenges.
The 12-month collaborative kicked off in January with discussions between founders, industry partners and municipalities from coast to coast. These early conversations will shape the focus of the collaborative and define the biggest challenges facing our cities today, from transportation asset and fleet management to smart buildings and infrastructure.
Participants in the program will work together to explore the complex challenges facing our cities, as well as look at the impact of new technologies on safety, security and data privacy.
Once the top challenges have been defined, we’ll issue a call to Canada’s tech community for innovative solutions. Selected companies will lay out demonstrable MVPs and plan pilots with collaborative partners and/or municipalities.
On March 3, Communitech and CityAge hosted a virtual event to explore how municipal governments and the world’s best innovators can explore, define and solve today's complex challenges, and build the future of cities, together.
