Smart City Listening Sessions

Over the years working in the Smart City space, we hear similar questions and concerns from technologists, entrepreneurs, academics and corporate leaders...

"We have developed a technology but I'm not sure how to connect it to the problems cities are trying to solve."

"Are we using the right words? Does our messaging resonate?"

"How do you effectively approach government?"

We’ve designed the Digi.City Listening Session as tools to gather feedback on ideas and offerings from expert practitioners and influencers.

These focus groups are designed to facilitate meaningful feedback and discussion on smart city offerings. It is not a sales pitch. Digi.City hosts and conducts these opportunity assessments with a curated network of government, industry, university & NGO leaders.

Attendees participate in the Listening Sessions as a time-efficient way to inform and develop human-centered solutions without the pressure of a sales pitch or a lengthy time investment.

As a result, we all get to work toward a common goal to share learning, collaborate and inform better solutions.
