Seoul Smart City Prize Introduction Seoul Smart City Prize Introduction

Introduction

The Seoul Smart City Prize is designed to promote an innovative yet inclusive smart city model that looks after underprivileged groups in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is driven by information and communication technology. This core mission serves as the basis of the two categories of the Prize, Tech-InnovaCity and Human-CentriCity, as WeGO and the Seoul Metropolitan Government envisions that smart city should be defined and measured in terms of being both people-centric and technology-centric, rather than merely being centered around the advancement of technology.
