Knowledge & Smart Cities International conference successfully completed

The International conference Knowledge & Smart Cities successfully completed. It was held on 26.11.2018 in John Atanasoff Hall in the Sofia Tech Park.

It was the second conference on this topic that Cluster Sofia Knowledge City has held over the past two years. Unlike the conference a year ago, this one was focused on the practical aspects of creating a market for smart cities and communities, integrated planning, and regulatory policies. This was made possible by organizing the discussion forum in four workgroups in the afternoon session. The forum was led by the Action cluster Integrated Planning, Policy, and Regulation at EIP-SCC.

 The conference was attended by more than 180 participants - business representatives, public authorities, consultants, and non-governmental organizations. A welcome speech was given to the participants by Mr. Bas Eickhout - a member of the European parament, and Mayor of Sofia, Mrs. Yordanka Fandakova, lectured at the afternoon session on the current state of the activities and projects in the areas of the city's Innovative smart specialization and the digital transformation, in which the city participates actively.
