A strong year of

collaborations

Collaboration with other SDOs and Forums

Throughout 2024, we continued to build synergies with SDOs and Industry Forums such as Global Cities
Hub, OASC, ISO, IEC, TM Forum, LoRa Alliance, and oneM2M.

Joint Coordination Activity on Internet of Things and Smart

Cities and Communities (JCA-IoT and SC&C)

The JCA-IoT and SC&C provides a visible contact point for IoT and its applications
including smart cities and communities (SC&C) activities. This would also help to
coordinate with external bodies working in the field of IoT and SC&C and enable
effective two-way communication with these bodies. The JCA-IoT and SC&C held
its 29th meeting, on 2 July 2024, in Geneva, Switzerland.

IEC-ISO-ITU Joint Smart Cities Task Force (J-SCTF)

In 2024, the Joint IEC-ISO-ITU Smart Cities Task Force (J-SCTF) continued to
strengthen collaboration among ITU, ISO, and IEC. The initial tenure, which
was extended by two years beyond its original end date of October 2022,
remains ongoing, allowing the task force to advance its important work.

Cooperation with Global Cities Hub

In 2024, the ITU formalized a strategic cooperation agreement with the Global
Cities Hub to strengthen collaboration on smart cities initiatives. This
partnership aims to leverage the collective expertise to advance smart,
sustainable city frameworks. By working together, ITU and Global Cities Hub will
support city leaders in adopting international standards, promoting knowledge
sharing, and driving innovations that enhance urban resilience, sustainability,
and digital transformation on a global scale.
