MARVEL at the SmartCommunities Conference 2022

On Friday 10 June from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. online, the SmartCommunities Conference took place with 39 speakers, more than 350 connected participants, 7 cities involved, and 22 projects presented on three macro-themes: smart and collaborative mobility, government and data economy, physical and digital security. The event was held in Italian. Each thematic session devoted to the themes of the conference featured a keynote speech and a series of short presentations (7 minutes each) held by companies and research institutions.
