Watch:
This Conference sets out to understand the experiences of municipalities that have signed up to the smart city agenda by studying the efforts made to create a smart people-based innovation network between cities and research centres. It will look at how cities and research centres can be smart in delivering electronic services to citizens, and explore what are the top-level issues emerging from the government-led, media-driven and transformational orientated debate over the way ahead.
