SmartCAT is the Government of Catalonia’s strategy to extend the concept of the Smart City to a scale that the European Commission calls a Smart Region and to deploy a programme that integrates and coordinates local and supra-local initiatives, supports businesses and rolls out smart initiatives as a strategy for the country.
The SmartCAT strategy must turn Catalonia into a leading smart region that is international in scope, takes advantage of the use of technology and digital information in order to innovate in public services, promote economic growth and champion a more intelligent, sustainable and inclusive society.
With this strategy, the government aims to improve services for citizens thanks to a more efficient use of resources and smarter action by managing the maximum amount of information in real time than is available otherwise.
