NTXIA, Frisco, McKinney, Plug and Play, and Curiosity Lab are teaming up again for the 2025 Smart Cities Global Startup Challenge. Five international startups will pitch live for a shot at funding, U.S. pilots, and real-world deployment opportunities. Applications are open now and close Sept. 10.
As part of the award, VisionCraft AI received office space, funding for their first pilot, travel and accommodations across the U.S., introductions to high-level individuals across public and private organizations to support their entrance into the U.S. market, and more.
The Georgia-based Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners is also partnering on the pitch competition, which will be held November 6 during this year's Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The goals: seeking innovations for the future of transportation, sustainability, and pedestrian safety.
