ERC Innovation Ecosystem Accelerator Spreads Across New York City

Outcome/Accomplishment

Students attending the Smart City Expo USA 2024 in New York City presented research projects they are conducting with support from the Center for Smart Streetscapes (NSF CS3), a U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Engineering Research Center (ERC) based at Columbia University.

Impact/Benefits

Four students in NSF CS3’s innovation ecosystem expanded their VALIDATE Accelerator research projects to live demos and sessions with New York City residents as a step toward validation and, ultimately, implementation.

Explanation/Background

Along with the students who presented their research, NSF CS3 Director Andrew Smyth participated in a fruitful panel discussion on “Testbeds: Scaling & Piloting Frontier Tech” with leaders spanning the frontier of smart technology applications.


Smart City Expo USA is the country’s leading event for smart cities, providing high-level networking opportunities, cutting-edge technologies, and powerful thought leadership in areas of government, finance, transportation, infrastructure, digital transformation, public safety & security, AI, healthcare, and clean energy. The Smart City Expo is a worldwide, ever-growing movement. Since 2013, the event has expanded from its home base in Barcelona to cities all around the world.
