Smarter thinking for a Smarter Planet.

Discussions about the direction of our society and planet have typically been limited to certain select groups. Now the conversation is open to anyone curious and engaged enough to participate. Organizations like TED and businesses like IBM are openly embracing the challenge to discuss and implement new ideas in a changing world.

IBM is putting this thinking to work in places like Stockholm, Sweden, where new, smarter traffic systems are helping to fight gridlock and reduce carbon emissions. Or in cities like New York, where data analytics, wireless technologies and video surveillance are being used to strengthen crime fighting and coordinate emergency response units.
