Technological advances have come to revolutionize city lifestyles. Join us, develop your skills and take a step forward in your daily work with Smart City Platforms"

Today, Smart Cities are at the forefront of digital transformation processes and, according to all technological indicators, we are only at the beginning of this journey, since, as these digital capabilities are explored, new paths and application areas are being incorporated into the smart city ecosystem. This postgraduate certificate focused on digital platforms for smart cities will be oriented to the detailed study of knowledge and interoperability layers.

The Knowledge Layer is in charge of "understanding" the information coming from the acquisition layer, in order to apply the operations with the data, either in real time or in deferred processes (batch processes). Among the operations, there are various processing techniques, from the simplest to the most complex. Therefore, rule-based operations, process-based operations and Big Data analytics operations, including Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence processing, will be explained, and the possibilities and limitations that each of them offers today in cities will be indicated.

The interoperability layer is the layer that allows to expose the results of the knowledge layer to the different consumers. In this way, the different capabilities that digital city platforms allow will be explained, from tools to create visualization panels on the data, to the enabling tools for the creation of applications such as API managers and software development tools (SDK).

To achieve the objective of professional improvement and specialization, TECH offers cutting-edge training adapted to the latest developments in this field, with an up-to-date syllabus developed by experienced professionals who are willing to put all their knowledge at their students’ disposal. It should be noted that since this is a 100% online postgraduate certificate, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
