Join in the Eureka Innovation Week

The Swedish EUREKA Chairmanship and the EUREKA Secretariat are pleased to welcome you to Stockholm and the EUREKA Innovation Week 2016 - Smart Cities – Sustainable & Attractive Communities. How can new trends and citizens' knowledge be opportunities in the smart city? How can the city's different dimensions create value for stakeholders and the people who work there?

The EUREKA Innovation Week 2016 in Stockholm combines the strategically important areas of the EUREKA network including international collaboration with a specific focus on Smart Cities with business to business meetings, high level key note speakers, EUREKA Innovation Award prize ceremony, exhibition and study visits.

The city is complex and many dimensions need to interact in order for the cities to be sustainable and attractive to residents and business. The key note speakers will highlight the Smart City and its interaction from different perspectives. Innovative concepts will be coupled with concrete solutions during parallel sessions on themes that are highly relevant to urban development around the world.

During the Innovation Week you will have the opportunity to meet, share ideas, interact and discuss with stakeholders from European industry, SMEs, academy, policymakers, representatives from regional and local authorities and many more. You will also have the opportunity to visit interesting Smart City Projects at the exhibition and on site in the greater Stockholm area.
