The 8th Asia Smart City Conference

◆ Dates of the 8th Asia Smart City Conference: October 8-11,2019

The Asia Smart City Conference (ASCC) is an international conference that brings together representatives from cities in Asia, international organizations, academic institutions, and private companies aiming to establish a knowledge hub for Smart Cities. At this conference, cities will share their visions for growth as well as their current challenges and needs; private companies and academic institutions will propose innovative solutions; international organizations will offer programs to support efforts by cities and private companies, and various best practices from around the world will be shared.

This year’s 8th ASCC was part of a collaborative “Asia Smart City Week” (ASCW) that included the ASEAN Smart City Network High Level Meeting (ASCN) hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Launch Meeting of the Global Smart Cities Alliance on Technology Governance (GSCA) hosted by the Cabinet Office Government of Japan and the World Economic Forum Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Japan. Through this collaboration, ASCC sent a strong message from Yokohama to provide information about our initiative for Smart Cities both domestically and internationally.
There were approximately 850 participants at the three ASCW meetings (ASCC, ASCN, and GSCA).
