Smart cities might feel like a concept that’s straight out of a sci-fi movie – but they’re closer to home than they first seem.

The smart city market has been growing steadily and is expected to reach revenues of over $1 trillion in 2028. And some key European countries are leading the way, with Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona all sitting in the top 20 smart cities around the world.

Coupled with the rise of Industry 4.0, there’s a great opportunity for UK businesses specialising in technology and manufacturing to play a big part in shaping a more sustainable future.

We’re teaming up with European technology experts Springboard35, Aexus and BeeSmartCity to discuss the latest trends and opportunities in core markets across Europe including Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal.

  • Discover the current trends and demand for new technologies across Europe.
  • Connect with local experts who can support with your go-to-market strategy.
  • Join a live Q&A and get answers to your burning questions, straight from the experts.
