Cities' Challenges 2023
What is it?
This year’s Cities' Challenges will have a dual approach:
Workshops: Cities’ Challenges at Catalonia’s stand, on Thursday 09
A matching of city officers and private integrators with potential European solutions' suppliers.
The 2-3 pitch 45’ sessions will gather Challenge owners from all over the world, opening up on their needs, in terms of technology, services, new solutions.
Before, during, and after the pitch sessions, the Challenge owners will be meeting the supply side, potential candidates for their specfic needs.
Note that both events will be managed by ACCIÓ/GOOSE, and attendees will be only by direct invitation.
Call for challenge owners has been extended to 22/Sept! Fill in the form here
Cities’ Challenges Pitch at the Agora: a joint activity between ACCIÓ and the Smart Cities Marketplace, on Thursday 09, 11:45h
Following last year’s successful pitch session, we will gather city officers from all over the world to the wider audience of the Agora space.
We foresee 8-10 presentations, from municipalities and regions from Latin America to Europe and Asia, selected this year by the partnership between ACCIÓ/GOOSE and the Smart Cities Marketplace, a program from the European Commission’s Directorate General of Energy to spur the Urban Green transition.
