BEYOND THE ABSTRACT
The international, world-class Tampere Smart City Expo & Conference
deep dives beyond the abstract – where the ideas are taken to action.
Digitally Smart
Data, analytics & Artificial Intelligence are transforming how we manage operations, develop new digital services, and co-create new solutions for our environment. Robotics and automation are shaping processes across industries. With the emergence of Web 3.0, blockchain and generative AI, we are heading towards a new reality in which physical and virtual experiences merge within the metaverse creating real life solutions and digital twins. The virtual reality is the extended reality to be.
Urban Intelligence
Smart urban areas are a key factor to improve the quality of life by ensuring public services and having the opportunity to make up-to-date changes through the continuous digital results and feedback. The much-discussed mobility of the future such as autonomous driving is playing an increasingly important role. Through data analytics, it is possible to offer residents better and more comprehensive services, improving the wellbeing for all.
Responsible ColLAB
Functional cyber security is a must and a shared matter of ongoing improvement. AI ethics and governance play a valuable role in digital collaborations. Clear focus is on humane digitalization, where technology works together with people. Development lies in doing things together and learning from one another. International cooperation, responsibility and sustainable solutions will also be on focus and in the event highlights.
From Ideas to Action.
The visual event experience is complemented by inspiring and awakening programme content, which brings not only company speeches but also inspiring top speakers both from Finland and internationally.
