Last call for applications: IEEE Smart Cities Initiative: Deadline extended to 31 August

The IEEE Smart Cities Initiative is inviting applications from municipalities worldwide already in the process of planning smart cities for growing urban populations. Two cities will be selected from submissions to receive funding and support from IEEE experts to host a workshop in their city before the end of 2015.

IEEE Smart Cities has already provided investment to three selected IEEE Core Smart Cities – Guadalajara, Mexico; Trento, Italy; Wuxi, China, which are municipalities that have successfully demonstrated plans to invest human and financial capital into their smart city project. Two additional IEEE Core Smart Cities that are able to demonstrate a comprehensive plan and funds for their smart city evolution effort to join these municipalities will be selected.

Municipalities interested in applying to become an IEEE Core Smart City and host an inaugural workshop in 2015 should submit the application by 31 August 2015.
