About Smart City Expo World Congress Barcelona

Held in Barcelona since 2011, Smart City Expo World Congress is the world’s biggest and most influential event for cities and urban innovation. Every year, it brings together leaders from global companies, governments and organizations to move cities towards a better future. The goal is to collectivize urban innovation across the globe and empower cities to tackle the critical challenges facing them today.

Their mission is to accelerate a brighter urban paradigm towards green, efficient and thriving cities that leave no one behind.

SCEWC 2025 will take place 4–6 November 2025 at Fira Barcelona  Gran Via in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain.

Strategic Objectives of the Collaboration

This renewed partnership is driven by a shared vision to embed Living Labs at the core of urban innovation and development strategies over the long term. Through this strategic partnership, we aim to:

• Sustain Innovation Ecosystems: Foster enduring ecosystems where municipalities, research centres, businesses and communities collaborate beyond single projects—accelerating the scaling of successful prototypes into city‑wide solutions.
• Amplify Global Impact: Combine ENoLL’s network of Living Labs with SCEWC’s audience of city leaders and investors to disseminate proven methodologies worldwide, driving replication of best practices across regions.
