Barcelona has raised as one of the finalists cities to the European Capital of Innovation Award, also called ‘iCapital’, a prize created by the European Commission to distinguish the city that has created a better ‘innovation ecosystem’ linking citizens, government agencies, associations and companies.

As announced by the board of experts that will judge the prize, Barcelona is one of the favorites to become the iCapital for all the efforts that the city has done for introducing the use of new technologies to bring the city closer to citizens. This is just a result of the emphasis that Barcelona has put on being an international benchmark for using technologies to develop smart city management.
