Global City Teams Challenge 2017

FGB participates to the 2017 Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Expo in Washington DC, August 28-29, gathering over 100 cities and communities around the world in partnership with more than 300 companies, universities, non-profits, and federal government agencies to share and exhibit their smart city projects and the impacts to their communities. 

Over 100 action clusters will exhibit and present their projects. SuperClusters will announce smart city blueprints that document real-world examples and best practices among smart city plans and solutions gleaned from cities around the world. The Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) program is a collaborative platform for the development of smart cities and communities, led by National Institute of Standards and Technology, a bureau of U.S. Department of Commerce, in partnership with other U.S. federal agencies including National Science Foundation, International Trade Administration, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration. It enables local governments, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, technologists, and corporations from all over the world to form project teams, or “action clusters,” and “SuperClusters,” to work on groundbreaking Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications within the city and community environment.
