Recorded Live #CiscoChat
"Technology brings the opportunity for citizens to revitalize business growth and create innovations that solve community challenges. Citizens can utilize the digital economy to stay close to family and friends while gaining access to good education, good jobs, and good careers.
Realizing these opportunities requires a country to move toward becoming a Smart Country with Smart Cities as part of the model. This typically occurs in three phases starting with building connectivity and coverage across the country. In the second stage core services are added like smart transportation and location services. Finally, services can be interconnected across the country and machine intelligence and human intelligence can be applied to provide services that truly improve people’s lives." - Susie Wee
Susie Wee, SVP and CTO of Cisco DevNet, expands upon the idea of Smart Countries along with Sofia Tenreiro, Cisco Country Manager for Portugal. Silvia Spiva, DevNet Community Manager, moderates.
