About Smart City Expo World Congress 2026

Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) 2026 is the world's largest and most influential event dedicated to urban innovation, smart city technologies, and sustainable urban development. Scheduled to take place from 3–5 November 2026 at Fira Barcelona – Gran Via, Spain, the exhibition serves as the premier international platform where governments, municipalities, technology providers, infrastructure developers, start-ups, investors, research institutions, and industry leaders come together to shape the future of cities.

Organised by Fira de Barcelona, SCEWC has been held annually in Barcelona since 2011 and has become the global benchmark event for smart city innovation. The 2026 edition is expected to welcome 1,000+ exhibiting organisations, 25,000+ professional attendees, 600+ international speakers, and representatives from approximately 1,000 cities worldwide, making it the most comprehensive business platform for urban transformation and digital city development. Under the theme "Urban Solutions, Real Impact," the event focuses on delivering practical, scalable solutions that help cities address today's most pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges.

The exhibition showcases the complete ecosystem of smart city technologies, including digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), smart mobility, intelligent transportation, energy management, sustainable buildings, water management, public safety, cybersecurity, digital governance, smart healthcare, urban planning, environmental monitoring, data analytics, connectivity, climate resilience, and citizen engagement solutions. Visitors can experience live demonstrations, innovative technology showcases, interactive displays, and real-world case studies from leading global cities and technology providers implementing the next generation of urban solutions.

As cities worldwide accelerate investments in digital transformation, sustainability, climate adaptation, and resilient infrastructure, Smart City Expo World Congress provides exhibitors with an unparalleled opportunity to present innovative technologies while engaging directly with mayors, government officials, city planners, utility providers, transport authorities, infrastructure developers, engineering firms, architects, consultants, investors, and technology decision-makers actively seeking future-ready urban solutions. The exhibition serves as a strategic marketplace where public and private sectors collaborate to create smarter, more connected, and more sustainable cities.

One of the defining features of SCEWC 2026 is its world-class congress programme, bringing together internationally recognised experts, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and innovators to discuss the future of urban development. The conference is structured around seven major themes: Enabling Technologies, Energy & Environment, Mobility, Governance & Economy, Living & Inclusion, Infrastructure & Buildings, and Blue Economy. Alongside the congress, visitors can explore the Innovation Playground, start-up showcases, Urban Innovation Tours, networking events, awards programmes, and several co-located events, creating valuable opportunities for collaboration, investment, and knowledge exchange across the global smart city ecosystem.

Whether your organisation provides smart mobility solutions, digital infrastructure, IoT technologies, AI-powered urban platforms, renewable energy systems, intelligent transportation, smart buildings, cybersecurity, environmental monitoring, or urban consulting services, Smart City Expo World Congress 2026 offers direct access to city governments, infrastructure developers, technology buyers, investors, and public sector decision-makers looking to implement innovative solutions that improve urban living.
