On 2nd November, the first edition of Smart City Expo & World Congress in Barcelona came to an end with a total attendance of 6,160 people, 2,082 of whom were exhibitors. 42% of the visitors to the fair came from outside Spain, which placed the Congress at a new international reference point.
The congress received 290 exhibitors from all over the world who discussed the challenges for the future of the so-called “intelligent cities”. The concept of smart city was born from the need to transform cities, by means of technology, into spaces that are more habitable and sustainable.
