Nordic Edge at Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 🌍

We’re bringing a strong Nordic delegation to Barcelona, 2–6 November, for the world’s leading event on smart and sustainable cities. The Smart City Expo World Congress gathers decision-makers, innovators, and city leaders from across the globe — and we’re proud to showcase Nordic perspectives and solutions on this stage.

This year’s program also highlights Smart Ports and their role in building connected, resilient, and future-ready communities.

Together with our delegation, we’ll participate in exclusive networking arenas, strengthen international connections, and put Nordic innovation in the spotlight.
