An indispensable event for cities and urban innovation in the Covid era
Smart City Live: What cities should do in the new normal scenario?
The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on the outlook of the urban coat and is forcing city officials to rethink urban development to adapt to coronavirus risks and fears.
To talk through the variety of ways that cities around the world are coping with this new scenario, Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) will hold on November 17-18 an innovative edition under the name Smart City Live (#SCLive2020). Organised by Fira de Barcelona, this year’s summit presents a unique two-day digital experience aimed at providing cities with a global new tool for business and knowledge.
Accurate content will be broadcast from Barcelona to the world through the event’s website and also through social media in a new virtual and interactive format comprising two different blocks. The first one (17/11) consists of a full-day live television show with interviews, debates, reports, success cases and parallel sessions. The second one (18/11) features online workshops and side events.
The flagship event Smart City Expo World Congress as we knew it before the pandemic will be back in 2021.

The programme will include sessions on ‘The Lighthouse Stories’, ‘Innovation capacity in European Smart Cities’, ‘How to set up city-led urban innovation systems?’, and ‘The Legacy of RUGGEDISED’, among others. There will also be different networking opportunities throughout the day. The event will close with study tours in Rotterdam to learn more about the RUGGEDISED innovations.
On 7-8 September, professionals involved in the energy transition will convene at the Recharge Earth conference, where RUGGEDISED will also share its best practices. The conference will include high-level political speakers and engaging plenary session. Important themes will be discussed in an international programme with RUGGEDISED partners putting special focus on how digitalisation and a social perspective can help support the energy transition throughout Europe.
