"No other event focused on smart cities achieves such a level of visibility and participation on a global scale."
FCC enviro is the brand that has driven the FCC Groups’s environmental activities for more than 125 years. It serves 78 million people across 5,650 municipalities worldwide and manages nearly 27 million tonnes of waste as a resource each year. FCC enviro has been an uninterrupted partner of SCEWC since 2011.
“SCEWC represents a key forum for engagement with our stakeholders. It is an ideal opportunity to share new projects and ideas, and to strengthen our brand image. Potential clients from regions where we are not yet present have frequently visited our stand to express interest in our services, making it an effective way to establish contacts for future operations.”
"SCEWC differentiates itself by convening the actual architects of cities: ministers, mayors, and urban planners."
SCEWC has long been a pivotal platform for MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation), even inspiring the organisation to host its own regional edition in Kuala Lumpur. For MDEC, SCEWC’s value lies in its distinct positioning: unlike broader tech events centred on hardware or software, it focuses on the intersection of policy, urban livability, and digital innovation.
“MDEC’s participation has consistently bridged the gap between local innovation and global scalability. The event directly connected MDEC-supported enterprises, SMEs, and MSMEs with key decision-makers, resulting in several preliminary MOUs and exploratory partnerships that reinforce Malaysia’s role as ASEAN’s digital hub.”
"Contributing to our economic growth and market vibrancy has been a key value proposition that brings us back year after year."
The North Texas Innovation Alliance is a 501(c)3 consortium that includes governmental and civic organizations, private companies and academic institutions who work collaboratively to pursue innovation in North Texas.

“SCEWC creates incredible opportunities to partner with international peers and connect with new innovations and companies. With our global smart cities startup competition in 2024 and 2025, we made direct connections to dozens of international companies. Every year our goals expand.”
