The event's date is: 25.09.2024

Location: Hybrid: Tallinn University of Technology (Ehitajate tee 5, Tallinn, room NRG-422) & Online

Join us for this hybrid workshop of the 4th round of the Smart City Challenge on September 25, 2024, at 10.30 – 16.00 (Tallinn time)!

52 cities from 26 countries have selected 24 urban challenges that are important to them. Until September 16, researchers and developers had the opportunity to propose solution ideas for these challenges. Explore all submitted solutions ideas now!

During this session, solution ideas will be introduced in more detail, giving you the opportunity to start forming a team for a pilot project proposal.

Cities interested in piloting these solution ideas are invited to ask questions, and connect with relevant researchers and entrepreneurs to collaboratively create proposals.

Please register by September 18.

We will send a Zoom link to people who have registered to join online a few days before the event.
