About the Dallas Innovation Alliance
After much collaboration with the City, including City Manager Gonzales and CIO Bill Finch, the DIA officially launched in September 2015 at the White House.
The Dallas Innovation Alliance (DIA) is a not-for-profit public-private partnership invested in Dallas’ continued evolution as an forward-thinking, ‘smart’ global city.

Organizational Mission
Develop a scalable smart cities model for the City of Dallas that leverages our distinctive strengths for the benefit of Dallas that leaves a legacy of innovation, sustainability and collaboration for future generations. Our initial pilot project is
designed to impact a neighborhood district in Downtown Dallas (West End), then adapt and replicate in other parts across the City of Dallas.
16
What is a Smart City?
The DIA operates from the definition that a Smart City is one where social and technological solutions facilitate sustainable economic growth, increase resource
efficiency, and importantly, improves the quality of life for its citizens.

Phase I: Project Areas Defined
Focus On: Infrastructure Upgrades and IoT Sensors, Public Safety, Citizen Engagement, Energy, Mobility/Parking, Public Wifi
Intelligent LED Lighting: Street lights in the living lab along Market Street will be converted to LED
and will be on intelligent controls for remote adjustments and outage tracking. Sensors
measuring environmental levels, including air quality, and crowd/noise detection are also
available.
Waste Management: Solar-powered waste management system increases capacity and productivity, with sensors providing data so
that trashcans are only emptied when they are full, decreasing CO2 emissions and overall
cost. 25
Phase I: Project Areas Defined
Interactive Digital Kiosks will be deployed in the West End, which will provide a key focal point for citizen engagement. Alongside
delivery of public information and services, provision of public Wi-Fi, emergency services, and wayfinding /transit options. Additional open source platform possible to provide a key application allowing
for direct engagement with the city, events and services. The internal software is being customized to fit Dallas’ needs.
26
Phase I: Project Areas Defined
Smart Parking: Infrastructure will be installed allowing for monitoring and visibility into available parking options, with the potential to locate and reserve parking ahead of time. Benefits include an improved citizen experience, increased
parking utilization rates and decreased traffic congestion/CO2 emissions. A large proportion of urban congestion is directly
related to cars looking for parking.
Network Connectivity: Fiber and cellular networks will provide full coverage, powering the
living lab. Public Wi-Fi will be available in the West End living lab.
27
Phase I: Project Areas Defined
Smart Irrigation: Demonstrate water and maintenance savings, and department efficiencies via a smart
irrigation system deployed at a City park.
Open Source Platform: A open source software platform will aggregate, analyze and visualize data, and provide opportunities for citizens,
entrepreneurs and organizations to build smart city applications on top of the platform.
28
Phase I: Project Areas Defined
End-to-End Mobility App: Working with key partners, the Dallas Innovation Alliance will facilitate an end-to-end mobility application, allowing citizens a single point solution, incorporating all modes of transit, including: mass transit, car, rideshare, bike sharing, walking and smart parking solutions. Benefits include ability to weigh mixed modes of transit, choose your journey based on user priority including length of trip, cost of trip
or taking the greenest possible option. [Phase II] 29

improvement
• Adapt strategy and program design based on Phase I data insights
• Identify top ‘plug and play’ tactics to drive early efficiencies of scale
• Educate communities and property owners, incorporate smart city practicum into classroom and research settings
Adapt
• Expand Phase I project pillars for West End rollout

ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS
PITCH DAY
Ten teams from the 2015 class
pitched to over 500 people at the
Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas
(the live mariachis were a fun
surprise).
We grew our team, expanded the size of our events, and increased our participation in the North Texas health innovation ecosystem. We
were named the top healthcare-focused accelerator in the Southwest and one of the top 3 in the US in a study called the Seed
Accelerator Rankings Project performed by a team of researchers from Rice University, MIT, and the University of Richmond. The
rankings are based on data related to valuation, qualified fundraising, founder satisfaction, alumni network among, and more. The 2015
class was our most diverse yet and the Pitch Day audience was the largest to date. We added an annual membership option to the Pulse
breakfast series. Over 500 people have attended the Pulse since launching it in February 2015.
THE PULSE
A $99 annual membership option

Building Momentum: White House Announcement

FACT SHEET: Announcing Over $80 million in New Federal Investment and a Doubling of
Participating Communities in the White House Smart Cities Initiative
“If we can reconceive of our government so that the interactions and the interplay between private
sector, nonprofits, and government are opened up, and we use technology, data, social media in
order to join forces around problems, then there’s no problem that we face in this country that is not
soluble.” – President Barack Obama
Dallas Innovation Alliance and Envision Charlotte are announcing “For Cities, By Cities,” a new
collaboration that will bring cities together from around the globe over the next two years to workshop
steps to become smarter, more sustainable, and efficient. Convening in Dallas, Texas in 2017 and
Charlotte, North Carolina in 2018, the conferences will feature city officials sharing their perspective
with peers about lessons learned regarding what works, what to avoid, how to get started, and how to
define success.
Dallas will be launching the Dallas Innovation District in the West End neighborhood
in downtown Dallas, focused on bringing together civic, corporate, and startup innovation efforts
through a single district-level testbed. This collaboration will bring together the Dallas Innovation
Alliance's Smart Cities Living Lab, the Dallas Entrepreneur Center’s efforts to seed new startups, and
new innovation initiatives from corporations in the technology, banking and healthcare sectors.

The DEC is so much more than a generic co-working space, it's truly an abode transforming the North Texas entrepreneurial ecosystem through its focus on relationship management. The amazing staff at the DEC understand the importance of business networking for entrepreneurs and help guide early-stage startup founders and
their teams during the times they need it most. Through strategic introductions, referrals as well as access to mentors, we've secured investment, expanded our advisory board and grown both our sales pipeline and portfolio
of revenue generating customers.
