Companies, social entrepreneurs and research centres have invested in technologies that change our cities. LLGA | Cities Pilot the Future matches them directly with cities searching for these solutions creating tangible market opportunities.

Present your solutions directly to leading cities.
Participants present their solution directly to decision-makers in cities by submitting a Showcase.
Meet key city leaders.
Nominated solution providers are invited to attend the LLGA | Cities Summit on Service Innovation in Cities, an exclusive 3-day matchmaking event in May 2013. This is a unique opportunity to meet and discuss solutions with the representatives of all 22 participating cities.

Receive the evaluation results of your solution.
You will have your Showcase evaluated by a Jury appointed by each city, with the option to publish results as a valuable reference as part of the Citymart.com marketplace. See an example.
CITIES: Why participate?
LLGA offers you a program to inspire your city, build international recognition, gain in-depth market intelligence, learn from other leading cities and create growth opportunities for local businesses. Every year we interview 300+ cities to select the most committed partner cities for the LLGA program.

By identifying opportunities for improvements early on in the process and inviting a market response, LLGA delivers an average of 10 times more intelligence on inspiring new solutions. Pilots are proven to deliver an important learning experience to city leaders and other stakeholders.

Typically LLGA solutions reach citizens 3 times faster and at saving of 90% compared with otherwise projected costs. The City of Barcelona, for example, calculates the value created by each of its past LLGA pilots at EUR 500,000.

You should consider becoming a llga | cities pilot the future partner city if you:
  • share our vision of spreading innovative solutions between cities and reward innovators.
  • can present a challenge that will attract a global response from innovative providers.
  • are committed to supporting the winner of your challenge to pilot their solution in your city.
