Smart cities in Europe

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union opens significant opportunities in municipal public procurement, providing Canadian companies with greater access to European smart city projects.

European cities are actively seeking innovative solutions to tackle urban mobility challenges, such as congestion and public transit affordability, to enhance energy efficiency in their infrastructures, and to integrate sensors and new technology to provide digital services to citizens and tourists.

This delegation is a multi-country activity. Trade Commissioners from Spain, Germany, UK, Sweden, and Latvia will participate.
