In this episode we talk to two smart cities leaders catalysing action and investment in smart cities on a regional scale - across public, private, academic and non-profit sectors. Matthew Bailey (Global Practice Lead for Smart Cities at Arrow Electronics) and Jake Rishavy (VP of Innovation at the Denver South Economic Development Partnership) unpack the journey and the secret ingredients in making the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance a force for smart cities good! The discussion covers everything from governance, trust and collaboration, through to the Collaborative Open Lab being built and its role in transforming the technology testing and procurement process, and its role in helping scale deployments across jurisdictional boundaries.
