Will every place become “Smart”? ?? On 14 November, our webinar, moderated by Naomi Milstein, brought together Peter Gwyn W. from the Welsh Government, Boris Tomas from Smart Dún Laoghaire, Dr Colin Birchenall, Chief Digital Officer at Glasgow City Council and CTO at Digital Office for Scottish Local Government, and Peter Griffiths ? from BABLE Smart Cities to explore this thought-provoking question. The panel stressed that smart places are about more than just technology—they’re about using innovation to enhance social well-being, drive sustainability, and improve economic efficiency. Inclusivity is key, ensuring that both urban and rural communities benefit from smart solutions and that services remain accessible to all. Data was highlighted as a critical enabler of smart solutions, but barriers such as connectivity, citizen trust, and privacy concerns persist. The vision for the future? AI-powered cities that adapt dynamically to citizens’ needs while maintaining resilience, cybersecurity, and equity. Interested in the discussion?

In Support of Those Affected by DANA ??? The recent storms have left a significant impact across Comunidad Valenciana, Castilla-La Mancha, and Andalucía, affecting thousands of families, SMEs, and local businesses. We extend our heartfelt condolences to those who have lost loved ones and stand in solidarity with everyone affected. To provide support in these challenging times, several organisations—including INCIBE - Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad, CCN-CERT Centro Criptológico Nacional, Ajuntament de València, and Smart City València —have launched two key initiatives: 1?? ayuda-dana.es: A platform that gathers and organises relief projects from companies, institutions, and individuals to help coordinate recovery efforts. 2?? informatica.ayuda-dana.es: A service dedicated to restoring damaged information on electronic devices for local shops and businesses. These initiatives aim to help SMEs and microenterprises, which rely heavily on IT equipment, recover essential data and systems. Visit and share the links. In this crucial moment, we are united and stronger together. #Solidarity #DANA2024 #Strength
