ABOUT US
SMART CITY EXPO WORLD CONGRESS
Held in Barcelona since 2011, Smart City Expo World Congress is the world’s biggest and most influential event for cities and urban innovation. Every year, we gather leaders from the most innovative companies, governments and organizations to move cities towards a better future. Our goal is to collectivize urban innovation across the globe and empower cities to face the critical challenges the world faces today.
We’re on a mission to accelerate a brighter urban paradigm towards green, efficient and thriving cities that leave no one behind.




THIS WILL BE THE CENTURY OF CITIES

GLOBAL LEADERS PUSHING URBAN TRANSFORMATION FORWARD

MUCH MORE THAN
A 3-DAY EVENT

A HUGE EDITION TO GO
BEYOND DREAMS AND INSPIRATION
A New Urban Era is emerging. We’re all witnessing it: AI and data-driven design, decarbonized high-tech, net-zero infrastructure and buildings, new mobility options, blue economy solutions… are blooming worldwide.
Cities are more alive than ever—and their future looks bright. Challenges ahead remain huge, but a new urban planning paradigm has come to stay: collaboration, ethical tech, common good, environmental sensitivity, and people’s needs at the center of all agendas.
The Smart City Expo 2023 (7-9 November, Fira Barcelona) 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. It will be our biggest edition to date and will see the return in full force of the urban innovation ecosystem.
