The Smart Cities India Expo combines transformational technology with essential pillars of urban development, such as green buildings, clean energy, clean environment, water, urban mobility, and the use of smart ICT for resource optimization and making cities smart and sustainable.
Since its debut in 2015, the Smart Cities India Expo has grown to become Asia’s largest Expo and Conference on the topic. The event is a carefully designed forum that allows for more in-depth communication and a more practical approach to solving urban concerns. The expo, which includes simultaneous conference sessions, startup chances, and specific industry zones, provides organisations aiming to make smart cities a reality with unrivalled business opportunities. Under one roof, the world’s and India’s smart cities will change city living. It is India’s Largest Technology & Infrastructure Event to accelerate nation-building.
The Smart Cities India 2022 Awards are a one-of-a-kind platform that honours, recognises, and encourages individuals, policymakers, businesses, municipalities, government organisations, and associations for their efforts in both the urban and rural sectors.
