Marketplace.city

Marketplace.city’s mission is to simplify the process of finding, validating, and implementing new technology at the city level, so government can better improve the lives of their communities with smart solutions. Products are developed with partner cities—including launch partners New York City, Atlanta, Barcelona, and Dublin—to meet their most pressing needs.

By 2020, it is estimated that the number of connected devices (commonly referred to as the Internet of Things or IoT) will exceed 50 billion. In the urban environment, these new technologies are transforming city life and helping pave the way for a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future. There are new technologies coming to market everyday that apply to public sector problems. The speed of change is exciting but also overwhelming for government officials who are increasingly tasked with solving more with technology.
