Wednesday – 25 September 2019 Nordic Edge Expo – Exhibition Hall – Expo Stage

Time: 14:45 - 16:00

At the climax of the Nordic Edge Conference, you are kindly invited to attend the second round of SMAVARD – the Smart City Implementation Award in Stavanger. No matter if you are working for a city, region, company, start-up, or if you are an interested professional, this event rounds off your Nordic Edge experience by highlighting the best solutions showcased at the exhibition.

The award will be handed over right at the expo stage, shortly after Europe’s leading Smart City implementers will have shared their biggest “fuck up stories” and inspirational ideas with the audience.

After the award ceremony you can mingle and network with the Smart City community at the official after party of the NEE.

Have you implemented a Smart City project that is innovative and has helped improve urban life and/or improved a public service? Then we are happy to hear from you.

The event is primarily dedicated to exhibitors and professionals in the Smart City area from the public and private sector.
