2018 Smart City Innovative Applications Awards
Origin
The concept of Smart City was originally adapted from the Smart Planet which was first brought out by IBM. A Smart City is an urban development vision to integrate the latest information and communication technology like Internet of things (IoT) technology, Big Data, cloud computing, mobile network, and intelligent terminal in the management of a city's electronic system, water system, traffic control system, buildings, pipeline, factories, offices and houses. With the connection of our life experience and all the facilities and systems above, we are able to enhance work efficiency and quality of life.
The development of Smart City benefits not only citizen’s quality of life, but also the economic and sustainable development of society, environment and natural resources. Therefore, it was adapted and cultivated rapidly and vigorously around the globe. With an aim to promote the development, Taipei Computer Association organizes Smart City Summit & Expo (SCSE) and Smart City Innovative Applications Awards annually.
Purpose
The Smart City Innovative Applications Award is organized by the Taipei Computer Association to serve the following purposes and goals:
-
To urge municipal government investment on Smart City development and utilizing the local features and resources to impose such vision.
-
To review if government agencies provide necessary help on providing trial fields as it is crucial to IoT application, which is the foundation of Smart City.
-
To encourage more innovations by recognizing the outstanding applications as models for cities and private companies.
Past Results
The past four editions of Smart City Innovation Application Award have been highly recognized and valued by the participants. The number, diversity and the competitiveness of submission increase drastically. In 2016, overseas submission was opened for the first time, and the result was impressive; in 2017 we hit the record of largest participation of 13 out of 22 cities in Taiwan. The award was then presented by President Madam Tsai, which once again, indicates that the Award is highly valued among governments.
Over the years, the Award has received more than 200 submissions and generated more than 50 winners in the past 4 years. These excellent winners are valuable models for city governments, both domestically and overseas. Through the mutual learning among cities, city governments implement user-friendly and innovative municipal services and applications, achieving the ultimate goal of bringing citizens happiness and upgraded quality of life.
