The City of Long Beach (CA | Population = 466K), believes technology can improve the lives of its residents. We can drive real change can if we work together to solve problems and test out solutions while prioritizing data privacy. To test out this theory, the city launched its Smart City Initiative in 2019. The Long Beach smart city team is focused on exploring solutions to the most pressing civic challenges by engaging with the Long Beach community and technology companies. Part of the motivation here is the knowledge that civic tech companies looking to test and adopt new technologies face an uphill battle navigating the city's complex procurement and contracting processes. That’s why Long Beach chose to participate in the Startup in Residence (STIR) program for the third year in a row.
