Urban planners, sociologists, politicians, web visionaries, and technology providers will debate and imagine the innovative and sustainable city of tomorrow; a city capable of combining its natural, historical, economic, and cultural heritage with future technologies.
Led by Dominique Boullier, a Professor of Sociology and specialist in digital usage, cognitive technologies, and technical architecture policies, and moderated by geographer Luc Gwiazdzinski, who is deeply involved in today’s urbanization, this debate will bring together the greatest specialists of the digital city.
Since his election, Christian Estrosi has pursued an ambitious policy for Nice Côte d’Azur to meet the challenges of tomorrow and become a sustainable and intelligent eco-city serving all citizens: the launch in 2010 and success of mobile contactless experimentation, Nice chosen for Orange’s European “Instant Mobility” project, Nice included in the national “future investments” program…
The Deputy Mayor of Nice, President of Nice Côte d’Azur, particularly within the framework of the Eco-Valley, National Interest Operation in the Var Plain, wishes that “innovation does not remain in laboratories, but benefits our citizens in their daily lives.”
Telecom Valley, a non-profit association celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, boasts a network of more than 140 companies, research organizations, and training bodies, etc.
It brings together all the actors capable of providing, today or tomorrow, technologies to citizens and local decision-makers that will enable them to improve the quality of life and services.
