?? Can AI chatbots revolutionize city governance? From Berlin to Zurich, cities are leveraging AI-powered chatbots to transform how public services are delivered. These smart systems are enhancing citizen engagement by providing 24/7 support, multilingual accessibility, and context-rich responses tailored to individual needs. ?? Highlights: —Berlin's ServicePortal: Streamlining citizen enquiries with rule-based AI, reducing administrative workload while maintaining service quality —Vienna’s WienBot: Offering real-time transit updates, event info, and multilingual support to connect a diverse population —Zurich's RAG Chatbot: Delivering nuanced, accurate responses using advanced AI for deeper public engagement While these innovations bring efficiency and inclusivity, they also raise important questions about data privacy and ethical AI use. Building public trust is key to the future of AI in governance. ?? In collaboration with BABLE Smart Cities, learn how cities are transforming with AI: https://loom.ly/2C1MbfA

In the global race for talent, cities are reshaping themselves to become places where people don’t just live, but truly thrive. The 5th Edition of the WW Observatory for Attractive Cities for Talent, authored by Prof. José A. Ondiviela, highlights the rise of ‘Lovable Cities’—urban areas that balance magnetism with livability and affordability to attract skilled minds. ??? This year, Valencia stands out, climbing to 21st place out of 175 cities worldwide. ?? As Jose Antonio Ondiviela Ph.D. discussed at this year's #SCEWC24, Valencia’s journey is a model for cities striving to be talent magnets in today’s world. + Read more about this case study: https://loom.ly/AqlTN_4 ?? + Contribute to this research by completing this short survey on what makes a city attractive to live in: https://loom.ly/7zqnWRo ??

In our economy, protecting intangible assets is essential to ensure differentiation and positioning in the market, to offer better products and services to citizens (consumers). ?? To do this, there are different ways of protection, depending on the asset we are referring to: ? Trademarks to distinguish your products or services, or both, from those of another company. ? Designs to protect the aesthetics, ornamentation, or appearance of your product. ? Inventions if you have a new device, product, or procedure that solves a technical problem. ? Etc. These assets can be protected nationally at the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office (OEPM) or at the European level at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). #INTELLECTUALPROPERTYPARTNER ??

Passive houses — the future of sustainable living. ???? What if you could reduce your home’s energy consumption by up to 90%? That’s the promise of passive houses—highly efficient buildings designed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round with minimal energy input. ??The concept, originating from Germany’s passivhaus standard, focuses on: + Optimizing insulation + Minimizing thermal bridges + Ensuring airtight construction + Utilizing mechanical ventilation + Orienting the building to maximize natural resources The result? Homes that are not only eco-friendly and cost-effective but also healthier and more resilient. ?? Read more about it here: https://loom.ly/f6Btos4

Cities are evolving—powered by data, driven by purpose. In our deep dive with TomTom, we explore how cities are rethinking traffic management to uplift urban life. Here’s how smart data is making it happen: ?? Smarter Signals: Paris is pioneering adaptive traffic signals, easing congestion and turning streets into green zones, thanks to real-time insights. ?? Mapping Urban Movement: Collaborations like TomTom’s with StreetLight Data let planners understand how people, bikes, and cars flow through streets—critical data for designing safer, more accessible cities. ?? Traffic Insights on Demand: Tools like TomTom Move are empowering cities worldwide to monitor and react to road trends in real time, reducing emissions, and even anticipating future needs to make urban life cleaner and more connected. With data and tech at the core, the cities of tomorrow are here—evolving beyond traffic and toward truly livable, dynamic environments. Learn more: https://loom.ly/LcwopOc

Traffic congestion is portrayed as inevitable as it's an inherent result of how our modern societies operate. And yet, with data analytics and smart infrastructure to manage traffic flow in real time becoming more available, urban planners and technologists can implement technologies that boost sustainability, connectivity and quality of life. In collaboration with TomTom, we dive into data-driven solutions in action: ?Real-Time Traffic Management: Amsterdam leverages TomTom data to reduce city center congestion, analyzing patterns to limit unnecessary journeys. ?Integrated Transport Systems: Singapore’s seamless public transit links rapid transit, ride-sharing, and micromobility for efficient urban movement. ?Electric Vehicle Adoption: In Oslo, policies supporting EVs, paired with TomTom’s insights, have driven significant reductions in urban emissions. With tools like the TomTom Move portal, cities can monitor and optimize traffic flows, minimize costs and adapt infrastructure efficiently. This solution not only supports immediate traffic management but also informs long-term planning for cleaner, healthier and more resilient cities. Explore more: https://loom.ly/LcwopOc
