Driving the Next Generation of Smart Cities: Connecting Digital City Ecosystems

The Digital Leadership Summit: Smart City Singapore will take government leaders, city officials and business executives through the key opportunities and challenges of creating a next generation data-driven Smart City. By providing pragmatic guidance based on best practice from the smartest cities, the teams will contrast those takeaways with their own experiences from across Asia to identify new ways to drive Smart City innovation forward.

The workshop will be highly interactive featuring table discussions, panels, user case studies and lightning presentations as well as informative sessions. Each topic addressed will have actionable outcomes that the delegate can take away and help them to develop and implement their smart city strategy.

The workshop sessions are shaped through consultation with speakers and also based on the results of the pre-event survey. All information shared during the session will take place under the Chatham House Rule, that is to say anything disclosed in the room is non-attributable.
