The Smart Cities Marketplace Forum 2022, taking place in Brussels on 26-27 April, will look into the future of the Smart Cities Marketplace initiative to support a just and clean urban transition, taking into account the measures outlined in the Commission’s REPowerEU communication, and how these can accelerate the delivery of the European Green Deal at local level. The event programme, which opens with a welcome and keynote speech by the European Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, includes various sessions that examine innovative projects and solutions to tackle common challenges and build upon best practices on collaborations between public and private partners. Participants will have the opportunity to network, exchange knowledge on the clean energy transition and find out more about funding and financing opportunities that contribute to upscaling smart city solutions. The event is organised in collaboration with the Covenant of Mayors Office, the European Innovation Council and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, among other partners.
