Smart Cities Think Tank

Statement of Purpose

The Smart Cities Think Tank’s purpose is to convene subject matter experts to explore the advancement of smart technology adoption through industry collaboration and best practices. The group will investigate how the Canadian cities can utilize data and digital solutions to enhance operational efficiency and deliver sustainable smart solutions to enable economic growth and enhance the quality of life for its community. When Think Tank seats are available we are seeking professionals with extensive background and expertise in Smart City strategies.

Seeking Members

As the Think Tank initiative evolves it is expected that there will be a need to form new Think Tanks around new subject matter or process-based initiatives. A minimum of three volunteers are required to start up a CanBIM Think Tank with Board approval. If you are a CanBIM Member and you would like to participate, we encourage you to sign up through the website today!
