The 4th WeGO Awards recognized and awarded 18 cities for their initiatives that use ICT to improve the quality of life of citizens.
Prior to the awards ceremony, which will be held at the 5th WeGO General Assembly (Oct 18, 15:00-17:00 GMT+9), WeGO hosted two webinars to highlight the winners and hear the cities speak about their real experiences in implementing the projects.
How can cities determine what is the best type of project for their ow particular cases? How can cities get stakeholders’ and citizens’ support for their initiatives? What sets these projects apart from other similar ones and what key lessons can be learnt?
Rewatch this two-part webinar series to learn more about 12 of the winning projects, through direct discussions with the winners and commentary from the panel of judges.
