Swiss Smart Cities: the NTN Innovation Booster Swiss Smart Cities is an eclectic mix of creative individuals, private businesses, public entities, academic institutions and citizens who come together to innovate based on shared ideas and experiences. The purpose of the initiative is to promote radical innovation with a view to developing Smart Cities and smart territories across Switzerland.
