WeGO is strengthening collaboration with local governments in Brazil   

 

Seoul, May 18, 2024 –  A delegation from the State of São Paulo, Brazil, visited the WeGO office. The delegation, led by Juliana Cardoso, Deputy Secretary of Economic Development, São Paulo, was keen to explore technologies and strategies that can be implemented in their region, focusing on urban mobility, public management, sustainability, and security. This visit sets the stage for an even larger mission involving the Governor of São Paulo later this year.

São Paulo State representatives shared insights into their state’s initiatives and vision in the smart city area. The core of our discussion revolved around connecting the State of São Paulo with other WeGO members and solution providers, as well as applying to the Seoul Smart City Prize 2024. WeGO sees exciting opportunities ahead. Expect further collaborations and initiatives in the coming months!

About WeGO

The World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization (WeGO), is a membership-based international association of local governments, smart tech solution providers, and institutions committed to the transformation of cities into smart sustainable cities through facilitating public-private partnerships (PPP). WeGO was founded by 50 member cities in 2010 as the World e-Governments Organization, hence our acronym. In response to the evolving concept of smart cities, WeGO expanded its vision and mandate at the 7th General Assembly (2017) and its name to the World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization. WeGO’s Secretariat is based in Seoul, Korea, and has regional offices in East Asia (Chengdu, China), the Mediterranean (Beyoglu, Turkey), Africa (Abuja, Nigeria), Middle East & North Africa (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates), Latin America (Cuenca, Ecuador), and Central Asia (Almaty, Kazakhstan). As the leading platform on smart city development, WeGO’s mission is to share knowledge and good practices in e-Governance; strengthen administrative efficiency and transparency; advance digital capacity; facilitate civic involvement; bridge the digital divide and inequality; and promote cooperation solidarity among cities and local governments around the world.

WeGO serves for its members as their international platform to improve the quality of life, innovate in the delivery of public services, and strengthen regional competitiveness.
