With the sustainable, digital transformation, companies faces new challenges, but the transformation also offers a wide range of opportunities. To seize these opportunities, companies need to focus on how they organize themselves around digitization and data.

Smart Cities are not just about better use of data, but rather about developing societies, where the digital solutions support a sustainable development. The companies that can measure and analyse data, can help cities and societies to become more sustainable.

During Digital Tech Summit WE BUILD DENMARK, Aarhus University, and Aalborg University join forces to give you valuable insights about sustainable digital transformation in cities and communities over the course of 3 sessions where we focus on different elements of a sustainable digital transformation:

•    Smart Society
•    Smart Buildings
•    Smart Data from Space

Smart Society
 

Smart Society - Sustainable Digital Transformation in Cities and Communities
November 30, 11.00-12.15
This session explores technical solutions such as IoT objects embedded in the cityscape that collect data and the merging of the physical and digital space in public arenas such as schools, libraries, museums, and city spaces. Technology that can be used by everyone is imperative for the development of (real) smart cities to prevent it from becoming a barrier for sustainable adaptation. In this session we will also address how policy making can influence how we create transparency and equality in the way we use, visualize and access smart city technologies. Implementation of a Computing continuum in cities will play a critical role in developing a green and socially sustainable digital transformation.

Smart Buildings
 

SMART solutions for building operations - Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) in Denmark,
November 30, 14.30-15.45
This session will focus on the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) in Denmark. We take a look at the expected costs and the added value for building owners, end users and professional operators of buildings. Calculations point to large savings potential, when implementing SMART solutions for building operations. The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a common EU scheme for rating the readiness of buildings to use smart technologies, which was introduced in 2018 by the European Commission. SRI will help to focus more on the benefits smart building technologies bring for creating healthy, energy-efficient and comfortable buildings, including building automation and electronic monitoring of heating, hot water, ventilation and lightning.

Smart Data from Space
 

Internet of Things Connectivity from Space and Ground
December 1, 10.00-11.15
In this session we focus on how satellite data can be used in smart cities and communities. Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that has been developed throughout the last two decades, but in the recent years it gained a significant momentum through its presence in 3GPP standards, such as NB-IoT, for wireless mobile networks. Mobile operators rely on IoT as an enabler of the next generation business models. In this session we will also focus on an emerging technology that receives a significant attention – IoT through LEO satellites. It promises to bring seamless and affordable connectivity over wide area for maritime, logistics, agriculture, and other industries. As a specific area of application, the smart city use cases will be highlighted.

We look forward to meeting you at Digital Tech Summit, and we hope that you will join us for these discussions on sustainable digital transformation in cities and communities.
