2018 event prospectus
Transforming Africa’s future through the convergence of communication, technology and networked cities. Smart cities in Africa will only be fully realised by bringing together all the element of the ecosystem right from the beginning; by breaking down silos and ensuring that all citizens are brought along through the transformation. The African Smart Cities Summit is an annual gathering of thought leaders, the technology providers of tomorrow, the communication integrators which bring them all together, all of whom are driving forward the narrative that will determine the future of Africa’s smart cities. Join us as we explore local and international lessons learned, innovative revenue streams, future buildings and cities, new generation approaches to city design, better collaboration, infrastructure transformation and sustainable strategies.
