The pathway towards reaching the global sustainability goals is full of challenges that need to be tackled, and common solutions need to be identified and implemented. Digitalization is often seen as an important tool for the transition towards climate-neutral and inclusive society.

  • What role can digitalization have in achieving the SDG's in urban development?
  • What are the challenges of sustainable cities and what is potentially achievable by applying digitalization?
  • New ways of working together is needed; what possibilities are there for your organisation?
     

You are invited to take part in inspirational lectures and current research and development conducted at KTH and IVL jointly with several cities and other stakeholders and networks. You will also be able to o develop ideas in inspiring thematic groups to find the best solutions together with our researchers, project leaders and problem owners.
