Proud partners of the Regional Smart Cities Initiative
Smart Cincy is a proud outcome of the nation's first Regional Smart Cities Initiative, as leaders across three states are using technology as a tool to improve the quality of life for all residents regardless of socioeconomic or geographical barriers.
➝ Catalyzing smart city collaboration communities to promote social mobility and economic development
➝ Empowering smart city leadership across sectors for technology and policy planning
➝ Launching smart cities pilot projects/programs aimed at addressing our region's most pressing matters
New jobs, investments, businesses, and opportunities are already sprouting out of the young-but-growing Smart Cincy ecosystem driven by projects that help leaders cut costs, generate revenue, and create more value for residents.
Government agencies, businesses of all sizes, startups, nonprofits, academic and research institutions and community groups are all well represented in the Smart Cincy community.
Solutions deployed and proposed bolster social mobility and spark economic development without alienating already strained municipal budgets.
Pilot projects, leadership events, and community engagements focus on using technology as a tool to make Cincinnati a better place to live, work, and visit for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic or physical barriers.
Leadership is proudly working with local governments, educational institutions, and internet service providers to provide devices, network connectivity, and digital literacy training to students of all ages throughout Greater Cincinnati's tri-state region.
Advances in technology and the Internet of Things can promote public safety, but they can also create vulnerabilities in privacy and security. Smart Cincy is working with local, state, federal, and industry and academic leaders to get ahead of emerging threats on and offline.
As we improve our neighborhoods, we must give residents the tools to realize success as to not be pushed out of their homes. We can enable our most at need residents, empowering our communities, sparking local economic growth, and supporting workforce needs of the growing business community by giving residents equitable access to education and upward mobility opportunities.
Helping local agencies understand and deploy smart and connected transportation solutions, including autonomous vehicle projects. Eventually, smart mobility corridors will move people and good seamlessly throughout the region.
As the digital transformation continues to pick up pace it is imperative that we equip our students, educators, and training providers with the insights and tools they need to support and develop the workforce of the future. Smart Cincy is active in supporting student tech programs and mentorship.
Smart and connected technologies can immediately help agencies and organizations monitor and mitigate environmental hazards, impact, and vulnerabilities from things like vehicle or factory emmissions and water or air alerts. Promoting environmental and economic sustainability is a part of the Smart Cincy resilience plan.
