Google Cloud Smart Cities Initiative Visits Portugal

Google Cloud Smart Cities visited Portugal to discuss innovation, digital transformation, and urban intelligence initiatives.

In partnership with Focus BC and Devoteam G Cloud, Google Cloud presented Cidades Inteligentes by Google Cloud. A roadshow that connected multiple municipalities of Portugal, north to south, with the objective of presenting transformative and innovative solutions in the smart cities area.

These were the regions chosen for the roadshow:

  • Faro, Hotel 3HB: March 23

  • Coimbra, Hotel Vila Galé: April 6

  • Famalicão, Sunset House, Hotel Pestana Cidade: April 27

  • Cascais, Pestana Cidadela: May 25

City as a Platform presented their smart cities solution which gives cities full control and visualization over their territorial planning and services management across their public services and departments.

We spoke to 2 of our customers during the Cascais event regarding the importance of City as a Platform in their day-to-day life. These are their testimonials.
