relevant for smart cities?
© 2017 TM Forum | 12
Platform companies have a
$4+ trillion market cap

PLATFORM PROVIDERS Network effect:
The more people who use the
platform, the more valuable it
becomes to its users
© 2017 TM Forum | 16
City platforms power the greatest
marketplaces on earth
© 2017 TM Forum | 17
Need scale to establish the network effect
It is about enabling success
You need both sellers and
buyers to be successful
© 2017 TM Forum | 18
Why is it so difficult?
…open data is not enough!
© 2017 TM Forum | 19
No business models or rules
No real-time open data
Supply and demand side gaps
…leads to failure in achieving a network effect

One city
is not a marketplace
