London

Sharing Cities aims to irreversibly change the way we think about the role of digital technology in our cities. We aim to create a more collaborative smart cities market that dramatically increases the speed and scale at which we implement smart solutions across European cities.

September 2018

Public debate on tech ethics has been a long time coming. New technologies have been adopted and used with little scrutiny: it has felt like a golden era of ever-improving free communications, search, and content. Precisely because this has been free, we’ve been slow to […]
