Founded in 2016, SMART & CITY SOLUTIONS, S.L. is an environmental consultancy specializing in data analysis and the measurement of sustainability impacts for public and private organizations. The company emerged as a spin-off from the Innovation Centre for Technology for Human Development at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (itdUPM). This origin story is rooted in the founders’ shared experience in a Master’s program for Smart and Sustainable Cities, where they aimed to translate academic ideals into a tangible B2B focused on urban environments. The firm’s core B2B revolves around helping organizations align with sustainability frameworks like the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the 2030 Agenda. They serve both public and private sector clients, assisting in their transformation towards sustainability through a scientific, data-driven approach. Their B2B model includes consultancy services and proprietary web tools for data visualization. A key offering is a methodology developed to quantify and predict the positive and negative impacts of public policies, services, and products on sustainability goals. For example, they have developed a tool to analyze how local entity budgets align with the SDGs. Operating within an ecosystem of academic, B2B, and civil society organizations, the company actively collaborates and shares expertise. Since 2021, Smart & City Solutions has been part of the Clean Cities ClimAccelerator, a European Union EIT Climate-KIC program focused on finding solutions to combat climate change in cities.
