About the Cluster

Cluster (CSCC) is to develop a unique partnership between companies, state administration, self-government, knowledge institutions and city dwellers. We are the innovators of the Smart City idea in the Czech Republic. We strive to build smart cities in which social and technological infrastructures and solutions make life easier for people and support sustainable economic growth. We believe these trends improve the quality of life in cities for all their inhabitants and cities, thus becoming a pleasant environment for living and working.

We strive to increase the competitiveness and economic growth of our members in the Smart City technology market. The main tools of support are the transformation of knowledge of research and development into the environment of cluster members, strengthening ties with scientific research and educational institutions, joint development of know-how in the field of social, technical and economic solutions and popularization of the Smart Cities concept. CSCC seeks to stimulate investment and innovation in the participating cities and regions to achieve the basic economic and environmental goals of the Smart Cities idea.

Our members focus on integrating intelligent technologies, for example in the areas of energy, intelligent buildings, transport and information and communication technologies. As part of their projects, they transform traditional isolated infrastructures into highly integrated systems intervening at all levels, starting with buildings and technological units, on to municipalities to the regional level and then the state.

We try to respect and develop new markets directly in the given regions and support the activity of local small and medium-sized enterprises with the development of Smart technologies, which in cooperation with academic partners can offer innovative services with higher added value.
