The projects that originated the Smart City goals of the iCluster Digital Transformation Initiative began in 2012 focused on Mexican cities and international cooperation.

​

Mexico has high growth potential in the Smart Cities market. The analysis that served as the basis to develop a reference Smart Cities Agenda, applied to the cities of Mexico, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Querétaro, and Tijuana that have unique heritage and identities and face diverse challenges and needs.

All 2011-2013 Smart City initiatives used open innovation methodologies, developing Living Labs and innovation spaces by thematic areas and priorities. They sought to establish cooperation with European projects and cities such as Paris, Bordeaux, Nantes, Madrid, Santander, Zaragoza, Barcelona, and Logroño to help speed up the transformation process towards a Smart City.

From the year 2014, the Smart Cities-MX Thematic Group of the Mexican Technology Platform coordinated the creation of a Smart City Agenda reference framework as part of the iCluster Digital Transformation Initiative which was carried out in two phases. The first phase focused on a pilot in Ciudad Maderas, a newly built city in the El Marqués Municipality of the state of Queretaro. In the second phase, this pilot scaled to the entire city of Queretaro.

Three distinctive Smart City projects were developed in 2011-2013 that influenced the iCluster digital transformation strategy:

​

•    Smart City Agenda - Mexico City
•    Project Reaumobile (Points of Interest with Augmented Reality)
•    Project Sprimóvil (Smart City mobile app framework)
