Cities will declare their challenges and intentions;

Companies will pitch their solutions;

Experts provide insights to trigger discussion;

Visioning Workshops deliver future solutions.

Three areas of services in cities will be prioritised at this Summit, allowing cities and companies to build partnerships, share experiences, build a common understanding of future trends and the growing demand for innovative business models.

1. Mobility in Cities

Mobility is no longer just a matter of the means of transport, but a condition in which citizens and visitors expect to receive services and information. The cities of Copenhagen, Barcelona and Kaohsiung continue to invest as pioneers in integrating bicycles into the urban mobility systems, using them not only as a means to get from A-B, but as a driver for sustainability, to promote new integrated planning concepts, accessibility and meet the changing lifestyle expectations of citizens. New products and solutions will be presented in this theme, as well as new planning concepts, business opportunities and service models from Europe, Asia and the US.

2. Environment & Energy in Cities

Sustainability has become the catch-phrase for many initiatives in cities covering areas such as generation of renewable energy, targets for becoming zero-emission communities (e.g. Copenhagen 2025), new ways of metering usage, protecting water resources and improving the quality of the environment. The Summit will represent different types of demand: New cities in the making are searching for integrated energy and environmental concepts, whilst existing cities seek to upgrade their existing services and infrastructures to an age of sustainability. Solution providers will showcase their new technologies, business models. services and visions for our future communities.

3. Wellbeing & Prevention of Disease in Cities

Whilst much focus is brought to the research in biotechnology to fight chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular problems, cities have emerged as important partners to prevent the occurrence of such diseases in the first place. What role does dietary and mobility (e.g. more walking, more biking) habits play in preventing diseases that can cost billions to treat? Who are the companies investing in new products and services that can significantly impact the prevention and wellbeing of our societies? Cities will share their needs and visions and call for experts from research and business to partner in a drive to use the latest technologies and methods to assure the wellbeing of our citizens.
