WiredScore has launched in Chicago, Marseille, and Cologne as the digital connectivity rating continues to expand across the globe.
Wired Certification has been introduced in six countries in the past five years, with these three new locations highlighting the increasing demand for the connectivity benchmark across Europe and the US.
Chicago is the latest US city to welcome WiredScore, the launch in Marseille follows WiredScore’s entry into France in March 2017 and Cologne is now the third city in Germany WiredScore reaches, following its launch in September 2017.
William Newton, President and EMEA MD at WiredScore said: “We’re seeing a huge shift in thinking globally with regards to digital connectivity as both landlords and occupiers realise the significance of remaining online and accessible at all times. Business leaders need the guarantee that their office space has the ability to meet their technological needs.

Rahm Emmanuel, Mayor of Chicago, added: “Chicago is proud to welcome WiredScore into our offices, buildings, and businesses. This announcement underscores our continued commitment to creating new technology to foster growth, support innovation and drive entrepreneurship throughout every corner of our city.”
