(NDI) announces that it will participate in a special reception to recognize and honor the City of Columbus, OH for its selection as one of the Top7 Intelligent Communities for 2014. This is the second year in a row that the City of Columbus has been recognized as one of the Top7 Intelligent Communities in the world by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), chosen from hundreds of evaluated communities from around the world.
According to ICF co-founder, Lou Zacharilla, each finalist made it to the list by demonstrating how they have begun to fuse technology, culture and collaboration for economic sustainability.
