Smart City Expo World Congress will hold its tenth edition in Barcelona

Smart City Expo World Congress 2021 will be held in a multi-platform hybrid format from 16-18 November, with the intention of being a brokerage event between industry leaders and stakeholders. As every year, it will attract the main national and international representatives of the sector. It will feature more than 300 speakers with expertise in smart cities, partnerships, mobility, sustainability, urban planning, etc.

The main themes will be enabling technologies, energy and environment, tomorrow’s mobility, governance and economy, living and inclusion, infrastructure and buildings, and finally safety and security.

Once again, the differentiating element of the event will be the Smart City Plaza, a space of almost 2,000 square meters where the most innovative solutions will be on display.

Our participation will be realised thanks to the collaboration with Microsoft, one of the most important exhibitors.
