Smart City Innovators |
Many cities are looking for innovative technologies to further their smart city aspirations. Currently the only way to find out about new technologies is through a variety of sales presentations. The Nakoudu platform allows cities to view a variety of local and global innovations and consider how they might integrate these offerings to deliver new revenue or bring together several innovations to address community deliverables from one initiative. |
Data Providers |
The inclusion of IOT, digital twins and a multitude of sensors means there is an extraordinary amount of data being created by government entities and communities for potential use/sale. Although this data is listed on government sites, Nakoudu will enable data creators to list available data beside the specific users in each category to build awareness and standardize the data format for all stakeholders. |

Nakoudu offers the ability to create and track deal flow and to consider technologies within the context of all other global innovations |
