Although fairly recent, the concept of Smart Cities is swiftly gaining momentum as data and new digital technologies are improving the quality of life and the urban environment we live in. This is an exciting opportunity for tech professionals and enthusiasts to understand first hand from a Smart City tech expert what it takes to build modern Smart Cities using data, technology, and robotics. The event will take place at the MK:U Innovation Hub, 200 Silbury Blvd, Milton Keynes, MK6 4HY, at 17:30 on Thursday, the 8th of June, 2023.
