Smart City Expo

Smart City Expo World Congress

Held in Barcelona since 2011, Smart City Expo World Congress is the world’s biggest and most influential event for cities and urban innovation. Every year, we gather leaders from the most innovative companies, governments and organizations to move cities towards a better future. Our goal is to collectivize urban innovation across the globe and empower cities to face the critical challenges the world faces today.

We’re on a mission to accelerate a brighter urban paradigm towards green, efficient and thriving cities that leave no one behind.

This will be the century of cities

The global population is expected to grow to 10B by 2050, and 70% of these people will live in cities. In 40 years, we will have built as many new cities as in all of human history. The future of humanity is inevitably urban, and digitization stands as an essential, unstoppable revolution to ensure future-proof cities focused on people and the environment. At the crossroads of tech and cities, there’s an opportunity for a more sustainable and equitable world where new business and collaboration models arise. Smart City Expo is the place to catalyze a powerful urban tomorrow worldwide.

Global leaders pushing urban transformation forward

Back in 2011, the idea was clear: to create a space where urban innovators from all around the world could connect, learn and share. By having a place to meet, get inspired and exchange views, we wanted the event to become the spark that lit a global movement towards a better urbanism. More than a decade later, Smart City Expo has become the essential meeting point for industry executives, entrepreneurs, public officials, institutions, experts and academia to shape what’s next for cities.

Much more than a 3-day event

By creating and nurturing an international innovation network, facilitating new partnerships, fostering a sustainable and diverse environment, and building a platform to share knowledge and engage all year long, we’ve developed a global, cross-platform community and a groundbreaking model of advocacy for a better urban world. And we plan to keep on doing so.
