The innovative SafeCity project, launched in 2018 to make France's smart cities safer, is a three-year, collaborative research and development initiative led by Thales. The city of Nice is becoming the pilot of safety in France by initiating full-scale tests to demonstrate what is supposed to happen in laboratories. The first smart-city in France, the city of Nice will very soon be considered as one of the first "SAFE-CITY" in Europe, still as pleasant to live for its inhabitants, better protected, more resilient and more attractive. Thales is the lead partner in this 3-year collaborative research and development project.
