Brand new insights on Digitalization and Smart City

Digitalization has no longer been an exotic term to us these days; however, it has yet faded and even continues to hold an unprecedented promise to help us organize ourselves better, and differently. However, that promise does not become reality by default. If we want digitalization delivered and if we want it delivered in a way it stands to augment our cities, our communities and our individual lives, we will need to get organized. We will need A New Digital Deal. In practical terms, the building blocks of such a New Digital Deal are also the building blocks of effective smart city strategies as well as the larger innovation journeys many communities find themselves contemplating. What does good digitalization governance look like? What does it take to conduct the Art of Connecting Everything? What does Good Design mean in this domain? And how to prepare for the skills and competencies we need in order to manage the digitalization journey effectively?

Yes, all the answers can be founded in the speech of Bas Boorsma, one of our Smart City -track’s speakers with 16 years of experience in the according field. They are surely useful for you as governance activists who want to apply digitalization into building smart cities; or companies who are working to provide smart solutions; and even those who are finding opportunities to land in in the future.
