Mon, 2017-07-31 12:05 — Compassionate C…Herndon, VA-based Smart City Works is an infrastructure actuator and business accelerator focused on improving livability, operations and resilience in cities. Its fall cohort will for the first time include two slots for nonprofits focused on helping at-risk populations. It could be a great opportunity for the right nonprofits. – Philip Bane
With its network of technical resources and cities, Smart City Works says it goes beyond traditional accelerators to more rapidly move the best technology solutions cities need into the hands of city managers and solution-providing companies.
Its program, conducted in conjunction with the Center for Innovative Technology, is designed to equip companies with the skills, market awareness, and validated products to be highly competitive, growth oriented and investment ready.
It is currently looking for entrepreneurs, startups and companies with emerging products to apply for its fall 2017 Washington, D.C. metro cohort, to be held at the Center for Innovative Technology in Herndon, VA.
