Now in its 13th year, Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, is the world’s largest gathering of leaders committed to urban innovation and the building of digitally connected cities. With a main goal of ‘collectivising urban innovation across the globe’, the event at Fira Barcelona will bring together technology companies and public sector organisations of all kinds to discuss a wide range of topics, with the core aim of addressing some of the critical challenges for successful urban evolution. Microsoft has been a regular exhibitor at SCEWC since the event’s launch and this year, once again, will assemble a collection of key partner organisations to showcase their collective vision for the city of the future. As always, members of the Technology Record team will also be attending this year’s congress.
