One week ago, at Smart City Expo World Congress, EIT Digital presented its 2017 innovations and supported scaleups in the field of Digital Cities, a key Action Line when it comes to Europe's digital transformation. Thousands of visitors from all over the world met, both on-site and on-line, the disruptive technologies that will change European cities into green-mobility ready, safer, and more resilient urban environments.
Through the Digital Cities Action Line, EIT Digital leverages the digital transformation of the cities through centralised, participative and collaborative interactions between city actors: government, city service providers, industry, and citizens. This transformation enables the deployment of disruptive information, mobility and safety services in the cities.
During the 3-day-long Congress, EIT Digital's booth hosted pitches, presentations, one-on-one meetings, and lots of networking. For the Digital Cities Action Line Leader, Stéphane Péan, "SCEWC proved why it is the most important international event of the year on Digital Cities, the largest and most innovative cities' representatives, including hundreds of city mayors, the biggest Smart Cities tech providers and top-level stakeholders, influencers and consultants gathered to get to know the very last trends and coming technologies that will revolutionise the shape of our cities, physically and digitally."
