SMARTCITY TAIPEI

In order to realize the vision of Taipei City as a smart city, we are seeking collaboration with private sector vendors to PoC a multimedia information kiosk program in the Xinyi District shopping area. This initiative aims to create an intelligent and one-stop public facility for the convenience of the public, achieved through policy planning. The project will incorporate a Proof of Business (POB) model, involving public-private collaboration and commercial operations to provide services with a public nature. The PoC will serve as an analysis and evaluation for subsequent formal project implementation, as well as a reference for promoting urban big data infrastructure.

Trial Location

The trial will be conducted in the Xinyi District shopping area, covering an area bounded by the southern part of Zhongxiao East Road, the western part of Songren Road, the northern part of Xinyi Road, and the eastern part of Guangfu South Road.
