Dtec Forum on SMART CITIES

Venue – Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus, Dubai Silicon Oasis

RSVP from here

In our next Dtec Forum we will be exploring key components of successful smart cities. A smart city is a municipality that integrates multiple infrastructure, information and communication and digital technology to increase operational efficiency in its city. Smart cities optimize city functions by connecting, protecting and sharing information with the city operator and citizens to improve both the quality of government services and citizen welfare. Smart cities aim to provide positive contributions to the city and community. To achieve worthwhile outcomes for both the city and community, smart cities have to offer fundamental benefits such as data transparency, integrated technology, collaboration, efficiency, engagement and solutions.

The event is free and open to anyone who is interested in technology, entrepreneurship, smart solutions, IoT, Infrastructure, information and communication, digital services, AI, energy/power and more. By attending the event, participants will get deeper insights into smart cities components, benefits, challenges and the future on a global scale.

Also, we’ll be introducing our Smart City, Silicon Park which is Dubai’s first smart city opening in Q1 2019. Come see and learn about its ultimate business and living environment with its unique mix of office, residential and retail outlets taking shape in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
