The Intelligent Cities Challenge (ICC), an initiative of the European Commission, is hosting the third and final in-person event of its 2022-2025 edition in Brussels, Belgium, on 5-6 March 2025. Bringing together city leaders, businesses, and policymakers, the conference will explore how Local Green Deals can accelerate sustainable and digital urban transformation while fostering collaboration between public and private sectors.

Over the course of two days, participants will engage in keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive sessions addressing critical topics such as sustainable mobility, circular economy initiatives, climate resilience, and financing urban transformation. The first day will feature policy dialogues and strategic discussions, while the second day will focus on practical workshops and case studies, offering cities hands-on insights into implementing sustainable solutions.

With an emphasis on governance, funding mechanisms, and cross-sector collaboration, the event will equip cities with actionable strategies to implement Local Green Deals effectively. Attendees will gain insights into emerging digital tools, innovative business models, and partnerships that can help accelerate their green and digital transitions.

Registration is by invitation only. For more details on the agenda and themes covered, visit intelligentcitieschallenge.eu.
