Georgia Smart supports cities to explore the use, deployment, and\/or integration of smart community technologies into their jurisdictions and operations. These technologies include: intelligent infrastructures, information and communication technologies (ICTs), Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and other computational or digital technologies (such as data centers and portals, web and smartphone applications, and automated digital services).<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Smart grant provides $50,000 toward the development of a community-based \u201csmart\u201d technology project, intended to improve citizens\u2019 lives in inclusive and equitable ways. Communities awarded the grant also receive technical assistance from a Georgia Tech researcher and access to unique resources to execute their projects, including connections to industry experts and access to technology solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The next Georgia Smart Communities Challenge application period will open in early 2020.
