Join with us to Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona in November! The world's leading event for cities will have a Nordics Pavilion which we at VTT will be a part of. VTT will also host a side event on the 14th of November regarding a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient Smart City. Meet us in Barcelona to hear how we can help improving cities to be more future-proof!

Register to our side event!

Join our workshop about how to make a successful roadmap for a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient Smart City today on Monday the 14th.

Join our workshop on The Business Forum Day, Monday the 14th

The Smart City Business Forum Day brings together decision makers to discuss key challenges for the smart and climate-neutral city. VTT will host a workshop on the Business Forum Day, a day before the main event, about "How to make a successful roadmap for a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient Smart City today". 

It's clear to everyone that we are living in a none-sustainable way. And since almost 80% of humans live in cities, we must design a framework for cities that allows us to improve our quality of life at the same time that we lower our impact on the planet.
