Mediterranean SME working together to make cities smarter

As cities continue to grow, so is the number of challenges they are facing. Environmental, economic or social emerging issues call for new and unproven urban solutions. The increasing need for urban innovation will result in the development of a significant number of smart cities initiatives, creating new business opportunities for Mediterranean SMEs.

If we want our cities to be efficiently managed and more livable for communities, public authorities and SMEs have to work together to come up with the best technological solutions. SME4SMARTCITIES is an ENI CBC MED program that was initiated to make this collaboration possible by reinforcing the capacities of  Mediterranean cities and SMEs. On the one the hand, the project helped cities to be the front-runners of innovation. On the other hand, the project supported Mediterranean SMEs in order to guarantee that their products and services meet the expectations and needs of smart cities. 

This toolbox has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union under the ENI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme. [Total project budget: € 2.491.299,47; EU contribution: € 2.242.169,53 (90%)]. The contents of this toolbox are the sole responsibility of the SME4SMARTCITIES consortium and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union or the Programme management structures.
