At TECH, we have set out to help you enhance your skills in the development of Smart City Projects and for this reason we have designed this Postgraduate certificate of the highest academic level"

Cities constitute a new paradigm in the 21st century, facing great challenges of humanity such as overpopulation of cities, important technological transformations and greater citizen accessibility to all services.

This Postgraduate certificate describes, with an international approach, the most practical aspects of the implementation of Smart City Projects, focusing on the particularities of working with the public administration in an intrinsically complex environment, such as that of the city with its dependencies and interrelationships.

During the program, the characteristics of the public sector and the different actors (stakeholders) in the city's ecosystem are analyzed, and the need to integrate them in order to achieve successful projects. Likewise, the different sources of funding for Smart City Projects are explained, from classic bidding environments to public-private partnership (PPP) environments, including those projects that have external funding, whether of national or international origin.

Students will also learn about the different stages of the project and the tools that lead to its successful completion, from co-creation and Design Thinking tools in the pre-execution phase, to mixed project management offices in the execution phase and technical operations offices in the exploitation phase, after project completion.

Finally, the focus will be on how to find the keys to success and overcome the complexities of Smart City Projects, based on implementation experiences of these types of projects around the world, and how the application of concepts such as the Minimum Viable Project (MVP) and the Minimum Viable Service (MVS) are the levers that can help future Smart City Projects to reach a successful conclusion.
