Leading Cities, an early pioneer in the global Smart City ecosystem, is proud to announce the end of the AcceliCITY Smart City startup application process and congratulates the semi-finalists in this year’s competition. Of the 550+ organizations from more than 40 countries that applied to be a part of the AcceliCITY program, the following 27 selected semi-finalists stood out as exceptional contenders.

Leading Cities and AcceliCITY are excited to work with these semi-finalists who each demonstrated the critical role they can play in building smarter cities worldwide. The purpose of AcceliCITY is to further the potential impact Smart City startups will have in cities and towns around the world. Together with our partners, we will help these startups succeed by connecting them with mentors from Leading Cities’ global network of smart city experts and city leaders and through our Member Network.

Mentors will guide these organizations to the proper channels, networks, people, and knowledge to do business with cities worldwide and to help them achieve their goals, increase the value they can offer, and help them grow. Some will be selected as a Finalist providing each with $25,000 worth of marketing through our partner, Bee Smart City. In addition, Finalists will participate in our Smart City Boot Camp in Boston (October 8-12th), where they will have the chance to connect with potential clients and investors.
