As we delve into the third year of the pandemic, WeGO is planning more activities than ever to embrace inclusivity and promote people-centered smart cities. This year, WeGO is expanding its activities to reach more audiences, while serving its members–feasibility study in Latin America, member-exclusive community platform, and smart city education program for youth.
On February 2, WeGO kicked off this new year by providing an overview of the activities for 2022. On top of this, the event served as the launching ceremony for some of WeGO’s newest program, such as the ‘WeGO Smart City Champions’. WeGO also took this opportunity to showcase its newest partners through MOU signing ceremonies.
