"The Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) program is a collaborative platform for the development of smart cities and communities, led by National Institute of Standards and Technology, a bureau of U.S. Department of Commerce, in partnership with other U.S. federal agencies including National Science Foundation, International Trade Administration, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration. It enables local governments, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, technologists, and corporations from all over the world to form project teams, or “action clusters,” and “SuperClusters,” to work on groundbreaking Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) applications within the city and community environment.
The 2017 Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Expo will bring together over 100 cities and communities around the world in partnership with more than 300 companies, universities, non-profits, and federal government agencies to share and exhibit their smart city projects and the impacts to their communities."
Thumbs up to Dr. Sokwoo Rhee, Associate Director, Cyber-Physical Systems Program, NIST and the entire GCTC Expo organizing team! I am so excited about attending the 2017 Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Expo. In 2014, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched the Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Program to encourage collaboration and the development of standards. Three years later, it is evident that the GCTC programs are definitely helping communities to benefit from the experience of others. Since September 2014, GCTC has recruited and incubated over 160 programs with participation from over 150 cities and 400 companies/organizations from around the world. Thus, my excitement!!
After attending past Expos, I am truly excited about the increased worldwide participation and collaboration reflected at the past Expos and to be reflected at the upcoming 2017 GCTC Expo... over 100 participating cities from around the world (including Baltimore, MD)... 300+ companies, universities, nonprofits, and federal government agencies participating. The 2017 Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Expo is definitely a major " silo-busting", "game-changing" event on the global stage! You are encouraged to register and join me, Sally S. Cherry, MT(ASCP) aka ChiefSiloBuster.com and other global visionaries at the 2017 Global City Teams Challenge (GCTC) Expo!
