Smart Prague 2030 is Prague's comprehensive smart city strategy, coordinated by Operátor ICT, the city's municipal technology company. The strategy defines Prague's vision for using digital technology, data analytics, and innovative urban solutions to improve the quality of life for residents, enhance the efficiency of city services, and strengthen the city's position as a Central European technology hub.
The strategy is structured around six priority areas: smart mobility, including integrated transport data platforms and intelligent traffic management; smart buildings and energy, promoting energy-efficient construction and smart grid development; smart environment, deploying sensor networks for air quality and noise monitoring; smart governance, expanding digital public services and open data availability; smart people, supporting digital literacy and citizen engagement; and smart economy, fostering the local startup ecosystem and innovation infrastructure.
Key projects under the strategy include the Golemio data platform, which aggregates and visualises urban data from across Prague's infrastructure systems, and various pilot projects testing IoT solutions for waste management, parking optimisation, and public space management. The strategy emphasises interoperability and open standards, ensuring that different technology solutions can work together and that data generated by city systems is accessible for reuse.
Smart Prague 2030 reflects the Czech Republic's broader ambition to position itself as a leader in smart city innovation, building on Prague's strong technology talent pool and growing startup ecosystem.
