Many smart municipalities provide opportunities to solve local problems and invite innovation through public challenges. With a small amount of money offered as a prize, issues such as localized flooding, developing new uses for an underused park, or other neighbourhood improvements can be opened to the public to encourage engagement and develop innovative solutions.
With our partners at EDO, we will be developing a model for innovation challenges that will both help to solve local issues but also provide opportunities for local entrepreneurs to test out new ideas and connect with the city. Find out more here.
