Board of experts

The Board of experts consists of expert groups in separate fields of knowledge. The members of these groups are leading experts, consultants, practitioners, and visionaries from business, academia, and science. Their role is to outline the perspectives and challenges in urban solutions and propose cluster policies, initiatives, and business models contributing to the transformation of the capital into a smart city.
