Through the CityNext initiative, Microsoft and MIRSK will help leaders to do “new with less” by combining the power of technology with innovative ideas to connect  governments, businesses and citizens with city services that increase efficiency, reduce costs, foster a more sustainable environment and cultivate communities where people thrive.
