Smart Cities Council (SCC) is inviting Expressions of Interest from current SCC members and partners to participate in the newly established SCC Global Task Forces.
Task Forces bring together cross sector experts, practitioners, researchers, innovators, and industry leaders to help shape the global future of smart cities.
Participation is exclusively available to current SCC members and partners.
Why SCC Global Task Forces Have Been Established
Cities and communities are facing increasingly complex challenges across infrastructure, mobility, digital transformation, resilience, AI, sustainability, governance, ethics and citizen wellbeing.
SCC Global Task Forces move beyond discussion and into practical cross sector collaboration and leadership.
Task Forces are action and outcome-oriented working groups that:
- identify key industry challenges and opportunities
- develop practical, standardized frameworks, playbooks and guidance
- contribute global best practice thought leadership
- showcase real-world case studies and implementation examples
- support industry collaboration and cross-sector engagement
- contribute expertise into SCC programs, events and initiatives including SURN
- shape practical outcomes for cities and communities
Task Forces will become a key part of the SCC ecosystem, helping transform industry insight into structures, standardized, practical guidance, collaboration, frameworks, policies, tools and implementation outcomes.
Areas of Focus
Initial Task Force focus areas include:
- Intelligent Transport & Mobility
- Smart Buildings & Infrastructure
- Smart Cities Readiness Guide (Update)
- Healthspan

Additional areas may evolve based on industry demand and member engagement.
