A living laboratory and local synergies
The smart city model, based on participation, citizen care, open government, sustainable mobility and urban quality, and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development goals, focuses on developing City Intelligence solutions, based on our local ecosystem and in our MIOS innovation laboratory (MiMurcia Open Innovation Smart City), a living laboratory with which sensors are deployed in the city, which provide data and allow new ideas and concepts to be developed.
In addition, another major purpose of the project is to create synergies with local innovative companies.

Murcia Smart City will be an open experimentation platform, as companies are invited to participate in the development of these services.
