What We Do
Global City Futures can nurture innovation in your city in a number of ways. We’ve designed and delivered a pioneering, immersive procurement model which allows public sector services to procure innovation rather than fixed solutions. This allows you to work alongside new start ups or social enterprises to create the best possible answer to your problem.
Our proven track record in this area means we’ve already written the relevant EU tender documents and will help you scout the market for applicants, manage the selection process and implement the solution.

Our Services
Alternatively, we can develop urban start-up ecosystems and plan open-innovation events to stimulate innovation in your local market.
Asking businesses to respond to city development challenges has been proven to go a long way towards creating healthier, happier societies.
