QBE and Leading Cities Announce AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge Finalists<\/p>\n

Leading Cities<\/a>, a global nonprofit driving city resiliency and sustainability, in partnership with QBE Insurance Group<\/a> revealed ten of the world\u2019s foremost urban technology startups in its QBE AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge<\/a> finalist line-up. Currently, in its fourth year, the program has become one of the largest of its kind in the world and has had major success with its unique approach to bridging the gap between startup companies and cities. AcceliCITY alumni have already raised upwards of $400 million, and many have since deployed their solutions in cities to improve the equity, resilience, and safety of our urban centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cChallenges such as climate change, population density, cyber risk, and pandemics are hastening the need to build thriving, resilient cities and implement new solutions that will change the world,\u201d said Mike Lake, President and CEO of Leading Cities. \u201cThe world\u2019s ability to achieve the United Nations\u2019 sustainable development goals and our commitment to making a meaningful impact towards climate resilience and sustainability is only intensified by our collaboration with QBE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a company that helps people and businesses protect themselves from risk, QBE understands the role we can play in helping our cities and local governments build resiliency and prepare for the environmental and economic risks that they are faced with,\u201d said Chris Castaldo, Chief Financial Officer at QBE, who serves as Executive Sponsor of the program. \u201cOur partnership with Leading Cities, which is in its fourth year, directly links our values and purpose to enable a more resilient future by supporting innovative solutions for our communities, customers, and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, these globally sourced, expert-vetted startups were selected from among the more than 550 companies that applied from 70 countries. The entrepreneurs leading these ventures are committed to tackling common city challenges ranging from fresh food shortage, digital infrastructure, and communications technology to public transportation, renewable energy, and more. Ninety semi-finalists were previously selected and participated in a business-to-government and capital acquisition-focused, web-based curriculum. Each of these teams received one-on-one mentorship from global experts. Now, the ten finalists will forge ahead in the AcceliCITY Virtual Boot Camp (October 3rd<\/sup> to the 6th<\/sup>) and compete for $100,000 in pilot project funding.<\/p>\n

AcceliCITY lowers the cost of innovation for startups as well as governments by reorganizing the innovation and implementation cycles for Smart City solutions. Leading Cities\u2019 AcceliCITY program connects startups\u2019 smart solutions directly with business users and provides the proper channels, training, and knowledge to implement in cities.<\/p>\n
