🇵🇱 Smart Secure Cities

About this hub

The Smart Secure Cities Consortium’s aim is to continue its up-to-date activities as a national EDIH with specialization in Smart City/IoT responding to a national need to foster digitalization and introduction of smart technologies, in line with national smart specializations for Poland. There is a great need for fair, cyber-secure, inclusive, resource-efficient, and above all human-centric digitalization of EU citizens’ living environments. However, there is not enough specialized support for the cities to make digitalization successful, especially in CEE. Our EDIH will address those needs working for and with two types of clients: Public Sector Organisations and SMEs. Thanks to its synergy, unique competencies, a well-planned, geographically balanced network of 28 Consortium members coming from different regions of Poland, will be a driver to raise the CEE region and level up with the most innovative regions in Europe. Consortium with its expertise and experience in digitalization will bring education, raise awareness on benefits and tools for a well-conducted digitalization. With its highly innovative, testing infrastructure of cyber-physical Innovation Showroom SMEs, start-ups and PSOs will be able to present and test the most innovative Smart City/IoT technologies. EDIH will support access to financing for the European cutting-edge technologies. It will also foster tight cooperation and networking between PSOs and SMEs in their digitalization to create together sustainable smart cities in the EU. EDIH will also address aims, promote and implement the concept of introduction of smart technologies as tools for sustainable development addressing directly objectives of the European Green Deal and Fit for 55 strategy. Our EDIH will continue to be a driver of the EU-wide network of EDIHs active in the area of digitalization of EU cities and regions involving EU-funded platforms and programs such as EEN, Startup Europe Partnership, Innovation Radar, EIC Accelerator.
