About BABLE
BABLE was founded in 2017, with the goal of creating a digital knowledge exchange around smart city topics. Since then, we have grown into an international team of over 50 experts working with cities, companies, and public organisations across Europe to accelerate urban innovation and sustainability.
Today, BABLE develops digital tools and services that help organisations better understand cities, urban challenges, and public sector opportunities. One of our core Saa S products is the City Insights Manager, a platform designed for companies working in the B2 G (business to government) space. The platform supports organisations in identifying relevant city challenges, market opportunities, and strategic insights to better engage with the public sector and accelerate urban innovation projects.
