Key Milestones

Smart Cities SIG at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026

Since its launch, the SmartCities Special Interest Group (SIG) has been diligently working toward a major milestone: delivering key analytical insights on public street lighting and water management. Our research identifies:

• Essential capabilities municipalities need for urban management
• Data requirements for Digital Twins
• Existing open standards and open source initiatives addressing these needs—and where critical gaps remain

We are excited to present these early results live in Barcelona at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026!
