Smartycity360 Summit

Exchange ideas focused on global smart cities, specifically in regards to the automotive and transport industry, and share your project with potential partners, investors and innovators worldwide!

After the first successful edition, EAI is bringing you the 2nd Smart City 360° 2016 Summit bridging the automotive industry with the IT sector. The objective of the Summit is to provide a platform for scientific collaboration, presentation of scientific output and to link research with practice.

With the Slovak Presidency in the Council of the European Union, there is no better place to hold the Summit than in the automotive industry hub of Central Europe. The Slovak capital, Bratislava, will host the Smart City 360° Summit 2016 providing a meeting point for everyone involved in the industry who wants to know the hottest news and most up-to-date issues.

Since 2007, Slovakia has been the world’s largest producer of cars per capita. In 2015, for the first time ever, the number of cars produced in Slovakia exceeded one million. However, to be a leader, careful planning needs to be done in order to ensure sustainability of this strategic industry.

On the other hand, the future of mobility does not lie in hardware and manufacturing, as there is a shift towards software and services being at the center of attention. That is why companies like Google, Uber, or Apple are becoming the biggest competitors for the future market. Manufacturers have to move up the value chain and enter the century of self-driven cars as that is where the economic future resides.

Smart City 360° Summit 2016 will give you an opportunity to forge new relationships with technology leaders, strategists and key decision makers and gain access to a target rich environment of young and promising researchers, and established names in the field, as well as up and coming members of the community.
