What speakers said about the Congress

“Smart City Expo is the one place where you can have new ideas, where you can brainstorm the industry leaders, where you can have so much more added value that you wouldn’t have if you have stayed at home and watch the YouTube. And definitely the networking part is always about people.”

Jaanika MeriloHead of Digital Health and Care | Ministry of Social Affairs of Estonia

“The global smart city is represented at the Smart City Expo World Congress’ floor. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel again if there are solutions from other parts of the world. We can implement them. It’s way easier. It costs less. It’s way more effective, and faster.”

Sascha PallenbergTech Blogger and Mobility Consultant

"I’ve been coming for ten years now, there’s no other place in the world like it. It’s an essential place for cities, for anybody who care about the future of our cities."

Jeff MerrittHead of Urban Transformation | World Economic Forum

"Cities are essential in addressing the climate crisis. That is why it's so important for me to be at the Smart City Expo. I’m particularly excited that all the merch sales allow us to plant trees in the incredibly beautiful Doñana National Park. Because that ecosystem desperately needs it."

Felix FinkbeinerFounder | Plant for the Planet
