SMART CITY

EXPO WORLD

CONGRESS

The global population is expected to grow to 10B by 2050, and 70% of these people will live in cities. In 40 years, we will have built as many new cities as in all of human history. The future of humanity is inevitably urban, and digitization stands as an essential, unstoppable revolution to ensure future-proof cities focused on people and the environment. At the crossroads of tech and cities, there’s an opportunity for a more sustainable and equitable world where new business and collaboration models arise. Smart City Expo is the place to catalyze a powerful urban tomorrow worldwide.

Back in 2011, our idea was clear: to create a space where urban innovators from all around the world could connect, learn and share. By having a place to meet, get inspired and exchange views, we wanted the event to become the spark that lit a global movement towards a better urbanism. More than a decade later, we’ve become the essential meeting point for industry executives, entrepreneurs, public officials, institutions, experts and academia to shape what’s next for cities.

By creating and nurturing an international innovation network, facilitating new partnerships, fostering a sustainable and diverse environment, and building a platform to share knowledge and engage all year long, we’ve developed a global, cross-platform community and a groundbreaking model of advocacy for a better urban world. And we plan to keep on doing so.
