As part of the partnership, bee smart city supports the new smart city startup accelerator AcceliCITY, launched by Leading Cities with a unique media and support package for the finalist startups and the program in its global network.
“Through our partnership with Leading Cities, we create synergies for cities and communities to choose the right strategy and the best solutions to become smarter.

The combined services of Leading Cities and bee smart city represent one of the strongest international platforms for cities and communities to address urban challenges and to seize development opportunities.

Through the new global accelerator, AcceliCITY, Leading Cities and bee smart city – along with other renowned partners – support promising startups in the Smart City domain with their go-to-market process, with valuable contacts to potential clients and partners, as well as with access to investment capital. Both organizations will actively mentor the AcceliCITY startups during the program.
