Leer van smartcityprojecten wereldwijd
Op 7 juni organiseerden we een feedbacksessie met het Internationale Kwaliteitsteam in samenwerking met onze City Deal partner Amsterdam Smart City. Acht internationale deskundigen uit de smartcitywereld deelden hun visie over waar we mee bezig zijn in de City Deal en gaven interessante tips van projecten waar wij weer van kunnen leren.

- Aarhus: Bo Fristed, CIO, City of Aahus
- Berlijn: Frans Vogelaar, Co-founder Hybrid Space Lab
- Vlaanderen: Ronald Hermans (Smart Region Officer) en Nils Walravens (Advisor Smart Region and Digitization) VLAIO
