Episode Description

The buzz: “The role of digital technology is critical…to monitor the wide array of aspects of city living…connecting every citizen to policy-making and administration” (Harsh Tikku). The road to a truly smart city is paved with gold in the form of technology and collaboration. How? Technology enables the smart city through digitalization of administrative processes, analytics, and visualization of information. Collaboration enables everyone in the city and its ecosystem to share information and gain insights to make progress and be resilient. Is your city there yet? The experts speak. Michele Hovet, KSM Consulting: “What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world” (Simon Sinek). Prof. h.c. Dr. Chirine Etezadzadeh, SmartCity.Institute: “You are the city…the woman who cries her eyes out” (Bläck Fööss). Holger Tallowitz, SAP: “Singularity is near” (Ray Kurzweil). Join us for Making Your City Smart: Technology + Collaboration.
