Our take
Smart Cities are on the rise, offering environmental, logistical and economical benefits. BABLE, a spin-off from Europe’s largest applied research institution, wants to support this. It supplies management and consultancy services to help connect cities with the companies who can help them execute smart solutions.
There’s an increasing demand for urban planning and management solutions, many of which already exist - but perhaps didn’t get the right funding and support to scale properly. BABLE connects this supply and demand, offering value to both sides.
It’s an interesting niche to be filling. And, with the general push in Western countries to catch up with the smart city transformations of the East, BABLE is successfully tapping into a growing and possibly highly lucrative sector.
