The SMARTATHON’18 is a challenge aimed at fostering co-creation to address Smart City key-challenges such as: climate, energy, data, housing, (urban) space, water, wastes, mobility, work, and people and communities centric urban life.
The Smart City paradigm is opening new opportunities for cities. Science, knowledge, data-driven innovation are critical to build-up climate friendly, environment responsible, socially valuable, citizencentric smart solutions. New challenges to design, create, procure and integrate smart city solutions are emerging – the present cocreation action contributes to address those solutions.
Guimarães DREAM Smart City programme, contextual to SMARTATHON’18, is looking for new visions, models, solutions, technologies and paradigms to respond to those challenges. A collaborative environment where diverse approaches are brought together is critical to development a Smart City oriented co-creation process. SMARTATHON’18, is about generating a co-creation collaborative environment.
