How can cities solve their urban challenges using smart city solutions?
How can companies promote their innovative solutions and form partnerships for international smart city projects?
Where should cities search for the right solutions, how to connect and who can assist in the process?
Last year, WeGO launched the Smart City Driver, WeGO’s flagship program, to help cities plan, finance, and deploy their smart city projects by inviting cities to design solution packages – a combination of multidimensional solutions that incorporate hardware, software, capacity building and governance, depending on the city’s context and available resources – and connect with strategic partners that can assist in realizing the solution packages.
This year, join us in this online matchmaking webinar where Solutions Meet Cities, to learn how WeGO connects smart city project partners, and how you can use its platform to achieve your smart city goals. Cities, corporations and stakeholders are invited to this forum where WeGO will showcase selected member cities’ project proposals with a live online matchmaking with solution providers and partners.
Join us to participate in a live dialogue between cities, smart tech solution providers and smart city experts and to learn more about matchmaking facilitated by WeGO. Take part in the discussion on international smart city projects and win a prize in our lucky draw!
