We are thrilled to be partnering up for a second year in a row with Smart City Expo Barcelona. Members will receive an exclusive 25% discount for the congress pass.
Smart City Expo World Congress is the world’s biggest and most influential event on urban innovation. We connect leaders from the most innovative companies, governments and organizations to move cities towards a better future.
A New Urban Era is emerging. Though the challenges that lie ahead for cities remain huge, a new paradigm is reshaping urban planning: collaboration, ethical tech, common good, environmental sensitivity, and people’s needs at the center of all agendas. Cities are more alive than ever, and their future looks bright.
Smart City Expo 2023 will be the biggest to date and 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. A unique showcase of proven implementations accelerating a smart, human-centric urban revolution. It’s time to go beyond dreams and inspiration. We need to walk the talk.
Discover our three co-located events reinforcing our focus on key urban challenges:
When talking about sustainability, every action matters, every move counts. Despite efforts, transportation is still the fastest-growing source of pollution globally, accounting for 23% share of global emissions in 2022. And yet, there’s hope. From electric vehicles, energy intelligence including hydrogen and batteries, to Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and autonomous driving, digital twins, or blockchain, a revolution is underway in urban mobility.
Held within the framework of Smart City Expo World Congress, Tomorrow. Building World Congress aims to catalyse a positive change in the way we plan, construct, renovate and operate buildings and urban infrastructures. We accelerate a shift in the built environment towards a circular and digitalized model that ensures efficiency, resilience, and net zero cities.
Smart City Expo World Congress presents Tomorrow. Oceans, an exclusive space within the framework of its annual event dedicated to promoting and developing the potential of the Blue Economy.
