Why are mobility innovations tested in some cities and not others? Vision, workforce, political commitment, regulatory environment, infrastructure availability, partnerships with local stakeholders and citizens, or even density and weather are just a few factors. Join us to hear from city representatives on how they are creating more supportive environments to test and scale innovation, and the challenges and lessons learned along the way.

The transformative impact of government technologies enhances city life everywhere. Exploring innovations in digital trust and digital services is crucial to understanding modern cities and how cities can leverage technology to create more resilient, efficient, and citizen-centered urban environments. However, are cutting-edge technologies capable of ensuring that city services can adapt to the evolving needs of urban populations?

45-minute workshop where four cities will share their initiatives, interests, experiences and needs in terms of digitalisation, citizens engagement, living labs and smart cities. Furthermore, an overview of the gatherings of smart cities and communities’ interests, current opportunities and upcoming developments coming from the analysis of the 2023-2024 Piattaforma Città working groups, including more than 80 Italian cities will be presented.
