As part of this recognition, we were invited to attend the Google Cloud Christmas Partner Meetup at Teatro Dom Luiz Filipe (Teatro da Luz), an event that brought together partners, Googlers and industry leaders. ## Recognition for Innovation This award reflects the work developed by Focus BC in collaboration with Google Cloud, particularly through our products [City as a Platform](https://www.city-platform.com/ "City as a Platform") and [Mapify](https://www.mapify.ai/ "Mapify"). Both solutions leverage Google Maps and Google Cloud technologies to deliver scalable, data-driven platforms for smart cities, mobility and IoT use cases. Receiving this distinction reinforces our commitment to building impactful solutions that combine location intelligence with real-time data. ## A Year of Collaboration The award also comes after an intense year of collaboration with Google, including a smart cities roadshow across Portugal with stops in [Faro](https://www.focus-bc.com/blog/smart-cities-by-google-cloud-faro/ "Google Cloud Smart Cities Roadshow - Faro"), [Coimbra](https://www.focus-bc.com/blog/smart-cities-by-google-cloud-coimbra/ "Google Cloud Smart Cities Roadshow - Coimbra"), [Famalicão](https://www.focus-bc.com/blog/smart-cities-by-google-cloud-famalicao/ "Google Cloud Smart Cities Roadshow - Famalicão") and [Cascais](https://www.focus-bc.com/blog/smart-cities-by-google-cloud-cascais/ "Google Cloud Smart Cities Roadshow - Cascais").
