The Municipality of Trikala is a pioneering Municipality in Greece. In 2004, Trikala has been labelled as Greece’s “1st digital city” and henceforth made significant effort in smart interventions by becoming a testbed for state-of-the-art solutions. That nurtured a culture within the city and its ’ stakeholders around the necessity of digital transformation and further on provided insights for smart, socially responsible, and sustainable growth through advanced technologies, which we believe will help the city proceed toward its' 2030 climate neutrality targets.

 

Trikala has consistently embraced commendable practices and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing the city's environmental profile, including endeavors such as the Smart City Strategic Plan, the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan, the Local Waste Management Plan, and the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the Municipality of Trikala (SUMP). The incorporation of the Action Plan to attain climate neutrality represents a transformative initiative that is anticipated to garner strong support from both citizens and stakeholders. The municipality is poised to wholeheartedly commit to the success of this endeavor, demonstrating the same level of dedication that has contributed to the success of previous projects. Trikala’s motivation and pledge to climate actions is further presented in the Commitments document.
