Smart City Innovations to Overcome COVID-19 in Swiss Cities

April 16, 2020 | 9:00 AM |

PRESENTATIONS ARE ATTACHED. RECORDING IS AVAILABLE HERE.

Dear colleagues,

As we had to postpone the Smart Cities Switzerland Study Tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to bring the Swiss expertise to your home!

Smart City Hub Switzerland, SmartCities Alliance, InnoSuisse, SECO, World Economic Forum and Risk Reduction Foundation are collaborating on a platform to combine efforts of private and public stakeholders in applying Smart Technologies to address Smart Cities challenges in Switzerland and transfer the best technologies and solutions to emerging markets.

As part of these efforts, the Global Smart City Partnership Program and Smart Cities KSB is providing the opportunity to present ongoing efforts related to applying Smart Technologies to fight COVID19.

Presentations will be follow-up by Q&A.
