It will once again bring top speakers and experts from home and abroad, including representatives from the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The second day of URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup will bring inspiration from regional and European cooperation, and look  into climate and energy innovation. With the participation of innovation centres and agencies, ministries, city representatives, business and experts from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Finland and Norway, five programme sessions will be held. In the block REGIONAL AND EUROPEAN COOPERATION AS AN IMPETUS FOR TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT, the participants and project coordinators will present the possibilities of involvement in activities at regional and European level.

The topic of Smart Cities has become an increasingly important part of the development of cities, municipalities and regions at home and worldwide, as well as one of the keys to sustainable development, prosperity and quality of life. The increasing challenges we face together today require innovative solutions and innovative approaches.

BVV Trade Fairs Brno plans to create a Smart City Living Lab, also known as a 'Living Lab', within its premises. The Living Lab will feature an outdoor Archimedes Education Centre, which will serve as a permanent exhibit to highlight modern technologies and innovative concepts/solutions. Unlike traditional school classrooms, it will not be used for regular lessons.
