CityZoom includes a community in which business and tech startups (in fields such as smart mobility, information security, urban farming, smart electrical,\u00a0water distribution and urban communications and Israeli municipal authorities understand the potential of intelligent technologies and infrastructures. \nThey form successful alliances to solve problems in the urban area and \u201ccreate vibrant climate for smart cities in Israel\u201d.\nA global smart cities database to accelerate the implementation of innovative solutions\nA lot of data has been collected over the past few years from failed and successful smart\/sustainable cities experiments all over the world, which could provide relevant information for Israel. \u201cMany times officials at local authorities don\u2019t even have an idea where to start\u201d when they face a problem, said Barak Goldstein, the co-CEO of the CityZoom initiative. \nAs part of the program, the government is therefore set to launch a database listing unanswered needs and problems in the urban space. It will be synchronised with similar big data systems of the most advanced foreign smart cities such as Barcelona, Chicago, New York and London. \nIt will therefore promote exchange of best practices between smart countries and cities engaged in the implementation of sustainable actions and policies.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Israel :\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n","author":42,"featured_media":5337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5752,5764,5761,5763,5751,5756,5755,5753,5750,5762],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28244","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-business-support","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-employment-training","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-news","tag-trending","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Israeli urban initiatives often include new smart dimensions.
