The director of SCEWC, Ugo Valenti, stated that “becoming once again the capital of smart cities is a huge honor for Smart City Expo. Welcoming over 700 cities and a significant number of mayors and ministers from different countries strengthens our role as key element in the global urban innovation agenda. Barcelona and the event are more than just the place where the leading organizations in the industry meet with clients once a year, they have become a driver of innovation and change in the urban landscape. And being able to help transform the world into a better place and achieve a more sustainable and liveable planet has been our goal since day one.”

Tools to reshape the urban landscape

Urban solutions are critical element of the smart city ecosystem, and the 800 exhibiting companies will showcase their latest products and technologies and how they can help local governments redesign their cities.

Among this edition’s keynote speakers feature architect Elizabeth Diller, gangsta gardener Ron Finley and mathematician Hannah Fry.

Diller has studied how to shape behaviour through public urban space and is responsible of widely acclaimed projects such as the New York High Line, and the Hudson Docks new art center The Shed.

Ron Finley has been spearheading a green revolution in Los Angeles where guerrilla gardening has transformed the dirt patches in South Central LA into gardens where neighbors are not only growing vegetables but also healthier communities.

Hannah Fry teaches Mathematics of Cities at the University College London. And has been able to decode the patterns of a wide range of social activities ranging from shopping and transport to urban crime, riots and terrorism.

The future of mobility

Among the most critical issues that cities face all over the world is the challenge to balance an increasingly urbanized and densely populated planet with the need of all its inhabitant to move.

That is the main focus of Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress and event co-organised by Fira de Barcelona and the EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a body of the European Union. On its second edition Tomorrow.Mobility will promote the design and adoption of new sustainable urban mobility models.

The sessions featured in the conference program cover topics such as putting Public Transportation as a global priority in a context of rising energy prices, using low-emission-zones, electrification and micromobility to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible, and safely developing Urban Air Mobility (UAM).

Among the more than 80 experts taking part at the discussion are Kelly Larson, Leading Road Safety & Drowning Prevention work at Bloomberg Philanthropies; Karen Vancluysen, Secretary General at POLIS; Marco te Brömmelstroet, Professor in Urban Mobility Futures, University of Amsterdam; and Thomas Geier, Research and Policy Officer at European Metropolitan Transport Authorities.

PUZZLE X and cutting edge technologies

The second edition of PUZZLE X, an event focusing on frontier technologies, will grasp the potential of bleeding-edge tech to build a prosperous future for humanity. To achieve that goal, the event will bring together visionaries, industry leaders, innovators and governments to discuss how these technologies can enable a better and more sustainable future.

The conferences will be structured in eight themes: Quantum World; Matterverse to Metaverse; 5G and Sentient Cities; Semiconductor: the new Wave; Transcending Biology; Architecting Tomorrow; Exotic Computing; and Sustainable Future.

Among the experts who will speak at PUZZLE X features Aubrey de Grey, co-founder of the Metuselah Foundation, who will discuss how technology might end aging and extend life indefinitely. In addition, the event’s stage will also host presentations including a live demo by Australian company Cortical Labs who have been growing synthetic brain cells and combining them with silicon chips to create mini-brains with the ability to learn new routines live and even play videogames.
