These Action Clusters are enabling innovation across the United States, Africa, Asia and Europe, as exemplified by the following projects: Forty percent of these Clusters are outside the U.S. Since its inception, the GCTC has recruited over 200 Action Clusters, involving over 200 cities, and 500 companies, universities, and non-profits. NIST and its partners advise and nurture these Clusters in their development of groundbreaking, Internet of Things (IoT) applications for smart cities and communities. Department of State, the International Trade Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the United States Postal Service.įostering Innovation – ActionClusters and SuperClusters: The GCTC acts as a matchmaker and incubator, helping form public-private partnerships, dubbed Action Clusters and SuperClusters.
Other federal agencies have also participated in the 2019 Expo as partners, including the U.S. In 2019, t he National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) joined the program as a co-host of the 2019 GCTC/SC3 Expo. The goal of the SC3 was to encourage smart city stakeholders to consider cybersecurity and privacy as a primary concern early in the process when developing and deploying solutions.
Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) joined the program as a co-host, and the subtitle of “Smart and Secure Cities and Communities Challenge (SC3)” was added to the program. The program strives to create an environment in which communities can benefit from working with others to improve efficiency and lower costs. Over the past several years, the GCTC program has evolved to become a collaborative platform for cities, communities, industry, academic, and government stakeholders to jointly develop and deploy emerging technologies for smart cities and communities. GCTC seeks to help cities and communities learn from others, improve on successes and build consensus for standards. Global City Teams Challenge SuperClustersīackground and Purpose: In 2014, NIST launched the Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) to encourage smart city and Internet of Things (IoT) stakeholders to develop and deploy standard-based solutions that are replicable, scalable, interoperable, and that provide measurable benefits for cities and communities.
