Initiatives for the establishment of smart cities in Serbia are relatively current topics in the last few years. Although they are not formally implemented as smart cities, there are a significant number of projects that are "smart" by their characteristics. In recent years, Kragujevac has realized several projects.

Kragujevac is the first city in Serbia to place all data on public transport lines on the Google Transit system, which makes all city and suburban traffic available on Google Maps, completely free of charge. However, it went further and the data in the open GTFS format was uploaded to the national open data portal. Very quickly, examples of their reuse were recorded. The use of open GTFS line data is cross-referenced with dynamic passenger counter data from vehicles, so passengers can decide which vehicle to board if vehicle occupancy is important to them. In addition, other global providers, e.g. Microsoft, took the data and implemented it into their maps, expanding the possibilities for end users.

City transport in Kragujevac has implemented the eKG system in the area of public passenger transport. Via electronic eKG cards, which can be personalized or non-personalized, passengers are validated when entering the vehicle and use them to pay for transportation via top-up. The intention of the city is to extend the use of the card to other city services, e.g. for entry to sports events, theater, public events, as well as to open the possibility for payment and records of the use of other services from the domain of local self-government.

The first city cloud data center was also implemented in Kragujevac in 2019. It is a donation to the Republic of China worth two million dollars and it is a state-of-the-art data center with comprehensive system and software solutions based on Huawei technology. The purpose of the data center is to include and centralize the entire ICT system at the level of the public sector under the jurisdiction of the City and establish joint services, enable efficient data exchange in a protected environment and become a platform for smart city services.

The eKGrađanin application is in operation - a service for reporting problems, inquiries and suggestions through the mobile application and web portal. Through the mobile application, citizens can report a problem for the services of the City Administration, PUK "Šumadija" and PUK "Vodovod", with the possibility of sending photos and reporting the location. Reported problems are recorded and administered by the Situation Center of the City Administration, PUK "Šumadija" and PUK "Vodovod" as tickets, the resolution of which can be followed by the applicant and communicated with the center.

Kragujevac, in cooperation with the UNDP program of the United Nations, has started the implementation of the LoRaWAN network installation project. It is a wireless network that is primarily used as communication for a system of sensors, which are technologically one of the most important resources of smart cities. The $130,000 project, which should be implemented in 2023, includes the preparation of a feasibility study and project technical documentation, on the basis of which work will be carried out on the installation of base stations, gateways, test sensors and will be connected into a single platform.

Since 2018, PUK "Vodovod i Kanalizacija" has launched a project to install smart water meters that can be used to read consumption remotely. In the first phase of this pilot project, 619 water meters were installed in Šumarice. The system reads the state of the water meter via a wireless network, sends them to the software platform that is connected to the billing system.

In 2021, the new GIS portal www.gis.kragujevac.rs was completed as part of the EUPRO project of the European Union, which is entirely based on open source software. The project included the partner municipalities of Knić and Rekovac. As part of the project, 800 kilometers of roads were recorded using mobile mapping, and the data is sent through the cloud
