Connected Smart Cities Conference 2017

Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) is a global network of 150+ cities from 30 countries with the goal to shape and create a market for smart city data and services. OASC is promoting the use of open and minimal mechanisms to achieve digital interoperability and to achieve upscale of digital solutions for the benefit of cities and the local innovation ecosystem. Unlike any other city network, OASC and its member cities are driven by experimentation and implementation.

Open & Agile Smart Cities

The Internet of Things (IoT) ​is creating real-time data streams, which are increasingly becoming integral in the fabric of modern cities. Such urban environments are where the complexities of technology, business and society meet in their most condensed and voluminous forms, shaping also the rest of society. The Connected Smart Cities Conference is a unique global venue for cities, policy makers and businesses to connect to the forefront of human-centric societal development shaped by real-time connected technologies, markets and polity in the 21st century.
The CSC Conference 2017 is organised by the Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative (OASC) with the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). OASC is a focused effort – driven by cities, backed by industry – to establish a global smart city market based on simple standard mechanisms for interoperability and exchange of data, especially real-time data from connected devices, since this is where the main challenges are. It is therefore timely to take this opportunity to focus on IoT for cities and citizens. ENoLL is a platform for best practice exchange, learning and support, and Living Lab international project development.
