Fostering Meaningful Innovation at the Intersection of People, Process, and Technology: Tyler Svitak, Executive Director, Colorado Smart Cities Alliance

The Restless Ones

The technologies of today are shaping the cities of tomorrow, with highly beneficial infrastructure essential to local citizens, businesses, and economies alike. Those who are defining and prioritizing the problems, using technology and innovation as the solution, will have the greatest impact. For the first time, local governments and civil authorities are not only able to collect meaningful and accurate data at scale but analyze it in ways that yield improvements across their domain. Public priorities such as transportation safety and efficiency, air quality, climate change, public safety, accessibility, and narrowing the digital divide are all being addressed through the power of the connected city.

To hear more about how the public sector is building for the future, we sit with Tyler Svitak, Executive Director of the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance. To be successful at scale requires a partnership between both the public and private sector. Technologies such as vehicle-to-grid electrification, autonomous vehicle deployment, and air quality monitoring sensors are only efficiently and effectively deployed through the power of partnership, which is why the CSCA’s work to introduce new technologies and bring the brightest minds to the table is the smartest approach.
