Vienna is known as a global pioneer when it comes to Smart City issues. We have a clear strategy in which ideas and input from local people and innovative impulses from the business, technology and research communities are brought together to serve a common purpose. Smart City Wien aims to be Europe’s “digitalisation capital”! We embrace new technologies and are interested in innovations that provide valuable services to everyone living in our city while simultaneously helping us to protect the environment and save the climate. That’s why we take a far-sighted approach to developing and upgrading our urban infrastructure. We also need smart, affordable, accessible solutions that really do make life simpler for us all. The focus, at all times, remains on people and their needs.
