Smart City Expo World Congress is the world’s biggest and most influential event on urban innovation. We connect leaders from the most innovative companies, governments and organizations to move cities towards a better future.
7-9 NOV 2023 | BARCELONA & ONLINE
A New Urban Era is emerging. Though the challenges that lie ahead for cities remain huge, a new paradigm is reshaping urban planning: collaboration, ethical tech, common good, environmental sensitivity, and people’s needs at the center of all agendas. Cities are more alive than ever, and their future looks bright.
Smart City Expo 2023 will be the biggest to date, and will show the world the smart solutions shaping this new era — those currently helping cities thrive and creating safer, greener, and more efficient urban spaces. A unique showcase of proven implementations accelerating a smart, human-centric urban revolution. It’s time to go beyond dreams and inspiration. We need to walk the talk.
