CONGRESS
OVERVIEW

"This is a very good platform to share best practices all over the world, regardless of whether they are from Global North or Global South, because we are all facing the same challenges."

"The greatest benefit of Smart City Expo is that it brings together decision-makers from around the world to showcase what they’ve accomplished in their own cities so other city leaders can learn from their example."

"If you start with an actual problem that people are facing, then a technological solution will be inherently useful. And here, at Smart City Expo World Congress, there are plenty of ideas and activity."

"It's always good to be in conversation with people and organizations from around the world. Here we can learn about innovation and bring home new ideas to implement."

"I’ve been coming for this event for ten years now. And there’s no other place in the world like it. I think it’s an essential place for cities, for anybody who care about the future of our cities. If you’re not here, how are you going to actually connect together?"

"Events like this create models that inspire both women and men to see collaboration as the natural way to work toward a better life. It’s a great scenario to show us life can be different."

"It’s my first time here but I know it’s been running for many years and it’s an amazing event. I think so many of the solutions we need are in these halls… So, not only does it give us the sense of the solutions, I think it can give us a sense of hope and a sense of courage as well."

"I strongly believe that this event is like the world stage for the edge innovation in the context of smart cities. It enables us to take advantage of this unique opportunity to go further in the digital transformation to be able to provide quality of life for people in the cities."
