We believe in asking the right questions, deep research, and evolving knowledge. Because every clients' question is an opportunity to learn more. Cities are becoming progressively complex; it's not just about infrastructure or technology. It's about building better communities. More inclusive. More diverse. This is what we stand for. Who are we? We are the global experts in Smart Cities. We help governments and developers expand urban intelligence, and transfer knowledge to the next generation of Middle East city makers. How do we do this? This is where we start the conversation.

Asia-Pacific is a frontier of growth and development, having embraced disruptive trends in its journey to grow. This eco-system depicts an eclectic mix of cities. Today we are more connected than ever before. We use technology to enhance, share and control the world around us. Improved communication, participation and collaboration have increased with access to data and information for agencies, institutions and citizens.

Smart Cities Asia will be structured around seven main themes:

Smart Development: Building for a Greater Generation
Smart ICT: City Beyond Technology
Smart Mobility: Moving Fast Forward
Smart Citizens: Integrating the People
Smart Energy: Transformation Towards Efficient Energy
Smart Water Management: Using ICT to Solve Problems
Smart Waste Management: Adopting Sustainable Practices

Today’s cities are laboratories for technology, connectivity, networks and initiatives, driven by citizens and entrepreneurs together with governments and institutions. Smart Cities Asia 2016 will bring together all these stakeholders under a single platform to envision and realize the concept of how future cities will look like.

Actual Smart City magazine is  the global-leading publication about Smart City with more than 400.000 monthly visits, it is present in 120 countries and 1.500 cities all over the world.

It is a great pleasure for me to start this new cooperation as columnist and video blogger. I have been following smart cities’ projects for almost one decade. Just in 2015, I visited personally 25 vibrant projects around the world. 2016 will not be different, I have already 15 speeches scheduled in world-class congresses, so it will be definitely a great opportunity to be following the new trends and sharing everything with you.

Responsibility must not remain only within the government, on the contrary, Smart City is primarily a lifestyle, an attitude, and it must be born in the society.
