The Smart City Expo World Congress is where cities for excellence meet. A meeting that materialises in very different ways, from talks at the congress to stands showing the latest technological developments applied to smart cities.

This year, the puntCat Foundation has participated in the SCEWC together with the Barcelona City Council. For three days, the City Council’s stand has hosted a set of 30-minute talks with companies, entities and groups that have explained their links to Barcelona and their more social ICT projects. For its part, the Foundation has introduced those projects that are being carried out and that contribute to creating a smarter and more cohesive society in the field of the Information Society.

The conference, under the title “When smart starts off small“, has been led by Eradio López Canosa, sales manager of the puntCAT Foundation. Among the highlighted projects, we have explained the .barcelona District Plan, a project that was developed together with the Barcelona City Council, websalpunt.cat, a website creation contest in Catalan aimed at Secondary School, Baccalaureate and intermediate or higher-degree educational cycle students and comerçlocal.cat, a digital training programme aimed at small store owners in Catalonia.

In short, 30 minutes of sharing small great projects promoting Catalan online and training people in a digital environment.
