Marketplace.city is offering free technology provider sourcing, validating and procurement intelligence to City Possible program

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, December 13, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Chicago-based Marketplace.city – a govtech company helping hundreds of cities around the world promote, access and leverage innovative technologies – is partnering with the City Possible co-creation framework, pioneered by Mastercard, through the City Insights Digital Marketplace.

Here’s how it works:

Marketplace.city’s Clearbox process compiles data from publicly-available sources, which is then aggregated and analyzed in line with relevant data privacy principles. From there, the Clearbox process assists governments in sourcing, validating and procuring technology solutions by providing in-depth supplier research, case studies, pricing, contracts and notes on what each solution offers. This gives cities access to data that’s been captured by other cities who’ve already gone through similar projects.

Marketplace.city also publishes Market Landscapes for nearly 70 different technology areas based on the data collected during the Clearbox Process. Those Market Landscapes include body worn cameras for police, cybersecurity, citizen portals, electric vehicles, citizen engagement, public WiFi and broadband and much more. The Market Landscapes provide actionable intelligence for cities to accelerate their technology purchasing decisions.

Mastercard City Insights is a digital resource providing access to apps, tools and partner solutions that are exclusively available to City Possible Global Network member cities. City leaders looking for data-driven insights to help monitor, assess and respond to the financial and economic health of their communities now have a wide breadth of resources they can leverage thanks to the addition of Marketplace.city’s Clearbox process.

Marketplace.city has helped hundreds of partners large and small – from Los Angeles, California, to Aurora, Illinois, and beyond. In 2016, Marketplace.city collaborated with New York City’s Mayor’s Office of Technology and Innovation to identify ways smart technologies can improve services and equity for all New Yorkers. This partnership led to the world-wide launch of Marketplace.city in 2017.

“Our network is what makes our work so powerful,” said Chris Foreman, CEO of Marketplace.city. “Governments are given real-time market intelligence about what their peers are doing to address similar concerns. That valuable data allows governments to make informed decisions to benefit their constituents. We look forward to sharing ideas and best practices with City Possible member cities, helping leaders identify technology-driven solutions to solve the challenges of today.”

“Through City Insights,” said Miguel Gamiño, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Cities at Mastercard. “Working with solution providers like Markeplace.city, City Possible is providing access to data-driven insight tools to cities around the world, helping to increase efficiencies and build solutions that enable them to better serve their communities in an inclusive way,”
