Smart
Economy

We promote urban economic models that enable local innovation, digital value chains and sustainable financing for smart city projects.

Approach

We work to ensure the urban economy is:

Innovation ecosystems

Fostering hubs, accelerators and public-private networks to scale data and technology-based urban solutions.

Local digital market

Boosting platforms and digital channels that connect SMEs, local commerce and public services to increase their competitiveness.

Sustainable finance

Design of financial instruments (green bonds, impact-linked loans) to finance smart infrastructure and services.

Service-based revenue models

Transition to OpEx/servitization schemes (infrastructure as a service) to reduce technology adoption barriers.

Circular economy and employment

Projects that generate local employment through repair, recycling and maintenance of smart infrastructure.

From financial structuring to sustainable operation.
