What SCEWC
means for cities...

“The Smart City Expo World Congress is the largest smart city event in the world. It’s a source of information and knowledge we can integrate to come up with novel solutions in Japan.”

“The SCEWC is immensely helpful for us to network with city leaders, governments, and technology companies as well as a good place to discover other great projects from all over the world.”

“It’s the face-to-face meeting which is the most interesting feature at the Smart City Expo World Congress. The venue is the place to meet people, network, discuss issues and see implemented solutions. This is the real strength of the event.”

“At SCEWC there are a lot of tech trends to discover and we found an incredibly positive business atmosphere from an international point of view.”
