In order to build smart and sustainable cities, many different processes and functions need to harmonize with each other. In the smart city, innovations, digitalisation, and environmental and climate technologies create opportunities for meeting society’s challenges in an efficient and sustainable way.

In Sweden we have lots of experience on how to connect all the necessary pieces, in combination with world-leading expertise in the fields of research and innovation within a number of areas. Join us for this programme so that we can address the global sustainability goals together!
