The event is supported by the European Investment Bank.
Digital technologies bring greater efficiency and occupy an ever greater part of our daily lives. They are an integral part of industrial processes at the end of the last century. And today they accompany us everywhere at home and in the office. They are a main pillar of Smart Cities. What makes a city „smart“? Part of the answer lies in the projects that will be presented at the „Smart Cities and Digitalization“ conference, whose focus is on our daily lives outside the office and home - road safety, health, culture, food. The ideal city created by Da Vinci was inspired by nature. We may take from his principles and break them to the needs of our decade.
