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.
