The Smart Cities Marketplace is a platform created from a merger of the Marketplace of the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC) and the Smart Cities Information System (SCIS). It is a major market-changing undertaking supported by the European Commission acting as a hub in which cities, industries, SMEs, investors, researchers and other smart city players can share experiences from the world of Smart Cities and help find financing for Smart City solutions.
