About The Forum

In this era of mass urbanisation, nine out of ten Australians live in a town or city and two thirds in one of the capital cities. Cities generate 80% of Australia’s gross domestic product and are social and cultural hubs, ranking highly every year on liveability indices. With services, infrastructure and resources under increasing strain from a growing and ageing population, it is vital that we be well prepared to ensure cities remain sustainable, resilient and liveable for all.

We recognise that as the international smart cities movement grow mature, Australian cities must move fast to put together smart city strategic framework to remain the frontrunner in the global race. Local governments and councils should thus consider the coming years as the testing grounds for reaching new heights enabled by breakthroughs in data and digital technologies as well as collaborative efforts between key stakeholders. Through adopting innovations that fold seamlessly into how citizens live their lives, cities can intelligently prepare for the changing needs of the community, the environment and the economy.

Understanding your need to build cities of the future for all to live, work and play, Clariden Global cordially invites you to the 3rd Smart Cities and Urban Transformation Forum 2018 – Designing Smart Cities of the Future with Innovations, Sustainability and Inclusiveness this coming October in Melbourne. Join the exclusive global gathering of city leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors and thinkers for meaningful exchanges to catalyze Australia smart city developments. This event is carefully researched and crafted with the most desired and unparalleled actionable insights, proven solutions and effective strategies to help you understand not only “what’s next” on the road to smarter, more liveable, workable and sustainable cities but also the roadmap on getting there.
