Background
A leading technology solutions provider needed to evaluate market entry opportunities in the smart city infrastructure sector. They had developed promising IoT capabilities but required clear direction on which urban planning applications would deliver the most value and fastest route to market.
Our Approach
Through extensive market analysis and stakeholder engagement, we developed a comprehensive understanding of the smart city ecosystem. Our research covered municipal decision-making processes, procurement frameworks and competitive dynamics across key urban markets. We conducted detailed technical and commercial feasibility assessments of various applications, from traffic management to environmental monitoring.
Working closely with the client’s technical teams, we identified three high-potential applications where their IoT expertise could deliver immediate value. The strategy focused on building strategic partnerships with established urban infrastructure providers to accelerate market entry.
Outcome
The client successfully launched their smart city division, securing pilot projects in two major European cities within 12 months. Their traffic management solution achieved 30% cost savings in the initial deployment, leading to expanded contracts and additional application opportunities.
