WINNIPEG For the fourth time in a decade, Winnipeg has been recognized as one of the most intelligent communities in the world. Winnipeg and six other cities from around the world were given the honour by the Intelligent Communities Forum (ICF). The Intelligent Community Forum is a global movement of 180 cities, metro regions and counties with a mission to make everyone s hometown a great place. Winnipeg s selection for the top seven comes after being named a Smart21 Community of Year, which narrowed a competitive field of submissions down to the 21 most compelling cities back in February. This is Winnipeg s ninth commendation from the ICF as a Smart21 Community since 2011. In 2018, 2016 and 2014, ICF selected Winnipeg as a Top 7 Intelligent Community, recognizing the city s global leadership in technology deployment, digital innovation and demonstrating a commitment to using data to improve the quality of life of all its citizens.
