What Is The Elevate Smart Cities Summit?
With large scale projects underway and bold proposals for the future of urban living being debated, Toronto is at the centre of a global conversation about smart cities ecosystems. The Board’s annual day of discussion and advocacy on September 25 will be a recognition of this moment and the critical importance of getting it right.
The cities of tomorrow are being created today. From data governance, to public trust, to commercialization of new technologies, it’s clear we need new thinking if we are to make the most of this new opportunity.
The goals of the Summit are to showcase smart city projects already taking place and find ways to unlock long term opportunities to achieve commercialization and deployment of smart cities technologies that will enable better socio-economic outcomes.
The Board’s Smart Cities Summit 4.0 is being hosted by the Board as part of Elevate Tech Fest.
