We Love Your IoT Stories – Smart Cities Contest
Empowering Smart Cities for a Sustainable Future
Smart City Journal & IoT Contest: Driving Innovation
We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with The Smart City Journal, the leading voice in the smart city sector. This platform showcases the triumphs of cities, organizations, and companies worldwide, promoting the development and exchange of sustainable strategies, unique products, and services. Together, we’re launching a contest aimed at fostering innovation within smart cities through IoT integration.
APPLY NOW ON SMART CITY JOURNAL
The Rationale Behind Our Partnership
Why this collaboration? Because we understand that cities, thanks to their IoT integrators, are brimming with inspiring use cases, particularly those linked to sustainable development. Yet, many of these IoT-driven use cases lack real-time data analysis and the clarity brought by artificial intelligence. Our contest aims to spotlight these innovations, offering cities a chance to elevate their infrastructure to the next level, at no cost, by utilizing their current setups.
A Glimpse into IoT-driven Urban Innovation
Take Nicosia, for example, which now allows its citizens to see the real-time location and fullness of recycling bins, promoting responsible waste management and recycling behaviors. Furthermore, the city has harnessed IoT sensors to measure air quality, providing residents with routes that have the best air quality for walking or cycling. These are the kinds of transformative stories we aim to bring to light.
What We Offer: “We Love Your IoT Stories” Campaign
Through the “We Love Your IoT Stories” campaign, Thinkz seeks the most compelling stories and use cases for elevation. Whether addressing environmental challenges, mobility, crowd management, traffic, or enhancing public amenities for vehicles, citizens, and tourists, Thinkz offers real-time solutions. Our approach combines IoT with a patent-pending technology called Live Data Verification (LDV), merging universal collection protocols with artificial intelligence.
How to Participate in the Contest
Participation is straightforward: register on The Smart City Journal’s website.
- By the end of April, one city will be shortlisted to present its use case in a webinar organized by Smart City Journal.
- In May, another city will be selected for the same opportunity.
- Following the webinar, cities will gain a feature in The Smart City Journal and encourage their networks to vote for them.
- The winning city will receive three real-time solutions from Thinkz for six months!
