This study contributes to the stream of research investigating the influence of the creative sector on the development of cities and the importance of place branding to local development. Place branding increasingly influences the competitiveness and attractiveness of cities. We examined ten European cities as creative places and how integrating creative economy strategies, social inclusion, and sustainable practices into city branding contributes to differentiation and competitiveness. The current research contributes to the research area by examining certain cities in the context of the creative economy and investigating how, as creative brands, they can be differentiated from their competitors by utilizing inclusive planning of the image of the place.

The fast development of information technologies fostered the recent flourishing of intelligent systems. While on the personal or household stratum, the usage of smart devices is quite limited in scope if not in function, on the industrial and geographical levels, various networks allow the creation of a new paradigm: Cyber-Physical space, enabled by the internet of things and smart environments. The phenomenon is truly global, encompassing all walks of life. Small and medium enterprises certainly benefit from the explosive spread of IoT and smart technologies. Industry 4.0 develops manufacturing, smart logistics and smart servitization, which are supported by just-in-time supply-chain operations. The current review of the present-day IoT, IIoT, and smart environments describes operational capabilities for innovative SMEs to expand operations and ride the wave of revolutionary change for profit and society benefits as a whole. A comprehensive assessment of potential drawbacks with technology acceptance by SMEs is done, with prospective solutions in every sphere of activities.
