Sorigué is taking part for the first time in the Smart City Expo World Congress, which is being held from 15 to 17 November at Fira Barcelona. The business group will present an extensive programme of conferences on its innovative and sustainable solutions for the city.   

 

The meeting, which brings together the most innovative companies, administrations and organizations, is an opportunity to showcase Sorigué's knowledge and experience in urban services in order to generate new synergies with the sector and move towards a more innovative and sustainable city. 

 

During the three days of the congress, the group will organize a series of conferences at its stand featuring leading voices from the sector around five thematic axes: Agenda 2030: a shared challenge between the Administration and Business; Resilience solutions for the city; Technology for Smart Cities; Infrastructure for the cities of the future and Renewable energies.    
 

Some of the themes of the conferences are the intersection of new architecture and ecology, with Daniel Ibáñez, architect and current director of the IAAC; venture capital as a tool for sustainable transformation, with Fernando Casado, investor in ClimateTech; smart urban regeneration, with architects Asunción Rodríguez and Jose Antonio Granero; the ecosystem services of green infrastructure with Oscar Martínez, CEO of Los Árboles Mágicos; and best practices in public procurement, with Francisco Diéguez, director general of the Institute of Construction Technology (ITeC).    

 

The conferences will take place in three different formats. On the one hand, in the 'Sorigué Conference', a guest expert will speak on a relevant topic within the thematic axes of the programme. Sorigué Talks', on the other hand, will consist of a conversation between three or more Sorigué specialists, in which the solutions provided by the group to the city will be addressed from an informative perspective. Finally, 'Sorigué Dialogues' will feature a dialogue between a Sorigué representative and a guest specialist.   

 

 

Sorigué participates in the Open Innovation Challenges, within the Brokerage 2022! Smart City Challenges initiative, promoted by ACCIÓ, the agency for business competitiveness of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The challenge, which will take place at the fair on 16 November from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m., consists of a matchmaking between public entities and private corporations to promote the contracting of innovation with market solutions for each demand.
