The key objectives of Smartnet are:
Smartnet encourages Government to Government (G-to-G) and Government to Business (G-to-B) and Business to Government (B-to-G) linkages for the urban sector in India enabling transparent and structured interactions between cities, businesses and institutions.
Smartnet provides cities an opportunity to share details of training programmes, competitions, job opportunities, conferences and tender documents like EOIs, RFPs, and so on. For the industry, Smartnet features a Products Gallery to showcase new ideas and innovations specifically developed for cities. Individual cities can share success stories along with information on the proponents and leadership of the successes which will be highlighted regularly. In addition to various success stories, technological updates and innovative measures adopted by cities, Smartnet will also give users a glimpse into "Trending Topics" in the urban sector. The portal will provide users real time information through City Dashboards, capturing changes at City level, project level information through geo-tagging of projects and latest updates on the progress of the urban sector missions. Smartnet encourages collaborative solutions and crowd-sourcing of ideas for the urban sector, resulting in an eco-system which will promote and support Co-Creation at a national and global scale.
