The document describes the Institute for Digital Progress (IDP), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that aims to transform the Phoenix region into a global hub for smart city and IoT technology through civic innovation. It outlines two pathways for innovation - Innovation as a Service (IaaS), which facilitates pilots of innovative technologies to address urban issues, and AZ Urban iLabs, which provides a platform for entrepreneurs to test ideas in real cities. The goal is to encourage bottom-up innovation and testing of new solutions to improve life for city residents.

Editor's Notes
- Believe it or not we are more than cactci, golf courses, resorts and spas
- How can we form a sustainable model of collaboration that can and will drive innovation in oour cities and in our communities
- How is the Smart & Connected Council working with cities to help drive economic development and attract investment and solve insurmountable urban challenges? Economic Development (Attract Investment) Insurmountable Urban Challenges
- Today governments at all levels face seemingly insurmountable challenges – rapid re-urbanization, dwindling budgets, increased citizen expectations, morphing societal needs. You might think that governments have little choice but to innovate. Yet in much of the world public sector innovation continues to be organized haphazardly, with disparate short-term initiatives, and the odd consultancy report or conference rather than focused effort. But there’s a shift occurring. From city halls to public agency front lines, governments are thinking more and more about how to create innovative solutions to their most pressing problems. Government officials are realizing the importance of thinking of innovation as a process. As an essential capability they wouldn’t want to govern without.

- No one company can provide breadth of technology solutions One-size-fits-all solutions
- Perhaps the most important question for local leaders to ask is how to make innovation the norm rather than the exception. How can governments establish a routine practice that enables them to consistently and effectively prepare for the biggest challenges of tomorrow? The best elected officials recognize this, and know that, however brilliant they are, they need better ways of generating new ideas: better ways of tapping the brainpower not just of their staff but of the communities and businesses they exist to serve and support; and better ways of helping new ideas flower.
- The Innovation as a Service Model allows iDP to act as the non profit R&D arm of cities, where we can collaboratively design and develop technology pilots that advance solutions to public challenges, have a measurable impact, and the potential to scale The Innovation as a Service Model Combines rigorous data analysis, best-in-class idea generation techniques, and strong performance management. Co-create innovative pilot projects with the best and brightest minds that Arizona has to offer Generates customized technology solutions to fit specific city issues and real citizens’ needs Furthermore, as a nonprofit, at iDP we have developed a LEAN funding model that Leverages corporate and philanthropic funding and secured endowments and therefor it Does NOT rely on city or agency budgets to fund pilot programs
- Cities in Arizona and in particular Mesa have established a reputation as emerging leaders in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship
- The answer is AZ Urban iLabs It opens up the region as a site for experimentation, enabling entrepreneurs to pilot products and services. AZ Urban iLab is a tool to facilitate the use of public spaces in the region to carry out tests and pilot programs on products and services with an urban impact. The idea is to use the cities as urban laboratories Pilot programs must demonstrate an express need to use public and private spaces These programs are premarket and the The Urban iLab is not a showroom for products or services currently available on the market or that are being marketed. Aligned: The pilot programs must meet the specific real needs of the citizens and their communities, and have a direct impact on the functioning of the city or on the services provided.
- The Four main objectives that we are trying to accomplish are Innovation, we want to foster innovation not only in our cities but across the region and across the state. 2. We want to assist entrepreneurs and help them cut the time between design and deployment thereby shortening their time to market. 3 We see the urban ilabs as a way to help the governments in arizona maximize the pipeline for innovative solutions for them to ultimately adopt and last, and most important, the urban ilabs will help our governments ultimately deliver better services to our residents.
