Smart Cities use technology to improve customer service to the community whether through smart parking, smart lighting or sharing open data. Sub-National Governments have an important role to play in strengthening our economies through supporting entrepreneurs and advancing innovation in cities. On 2 February 2017 the Chief Minister of the ACT, Andrew Barr MLA and Lord Mayor of Adelaide Martin Kinnear Haese met to discuss ways to work together to advance Smart City goals. 
A Smart City Cooperation Agreement was signed which expresses a strong desire to work together to progress smart city approaches, projects and priority areas for the mutual benefit of our cities.
