Taipei's Smart City Project Management Office, set up in 2016, runs the city as a living lab — over 170 proof-of-concept trials, in contact with 500+ ICT vendors, across transport, public housing, healthcare, education and payments (from smart lampposts to bike-share). A 2020 "1+7" framework and annual PoC subsidy rounds keep it active.
