JOIN THE URBAN CHANGE IN THE MAKING
We all need better cities – more efficient, future-proof and safe to live in.
With two out of three people predicted to be town-dwellers by 2050, urban stakeholders will need to do a lot of planning to keep up with the unprecedented rate of urbanisation. The demand for innovation in the sector is as high as ever. The time for urban transformation is now.
Urban Tech Forward is a revolutionary hybrid event that aims to transform the notion of urban sustainability using powerful tech solutions. Designed to rethink spaces where people live and work – through the prism of efficiency, resilience and technology – the event brings leading urban tech innovators, venture capitalists, real estate developers, policy-makers and industry’s most prominent entrepreneurs to collaborate, shift the way we build and, ultimately, make an impact that matters.
