Urban innovation from Medellín, for all of Latin America
Medellín went from being one of the world's most troubled cities to a global benchmark for urban innovation and open innovation. WΞCITY® was born in that same territory, with the same underlying question: how do we use technology to build cities that are smarter — yes — but also more conscious and more human?
Eight ideas behind every WΞCITY® project
Smart Cities
Connected infrastructure — sensors, cameras, lighting and street furniture — that gives every city real-time data to operate better.
Conscious Cities
Technology that doesn't compete with public space, but respects it: conscious design, sustainability and low environmental impact in every solution we integrate.
Human Cities
Every project is designed first around the people who inhabit the space — pedestrians, drivers, shopkeepers, neighbors — and only then around the technology that supports them.
Open Innovation
We integrate capabilities from leading global manufacturers — Hikvision, TKH, DESIGNA, Schick Electronic and others — with design, engineering and local territorial knowledge.
Urban Innovation
From the parking lot to public space: we take innovation beyond the building, to bus stops, poles, plazas and streets.
Artificial Intelligence for Cities
AI cameras that count people and vehicles, chatbots that respond in multiple languages, license plate recognition: artificial intelligence already lives in the public space we integrate.
Open Data
WΞCITY®'s connected infrastructure — bus stops, poles and screens — can become a source of aggregated urban data, useful for local governments to make better mobility and public-space decisions.
Smart Cities LATAM
WΞCITY® was born in Medellín and is designed for the real conditions of Latin American cities — not an adaptation of technology designed for another context.
We bring this conversation to conferences and city events
The PGS Colombia and WΞCITY® team takes part in talks, panels and conferences on smart cities, conscious cities and urban innovation in Medellín and other cities across the region. If you're organizing an event, a panel or a conference on the future of cities, write to us.
