NCS Australia is proud to be sponsoring Smart Cities Council’s (SCC’s) inaugural Smart Cities Week APAC event from 5-9 August in Adelaide.

“Smart Cities Week APAC brings together the leading global policymakers, thought leaders, academics, researchers, philanthropists and corporations to build capability, capacity and cross-sector collaboration to deliver global positive social, environmental and economic outcomes,” said Corey Gray, Global President of Smart Cities Council. 

There will be in-depth sessions presented by our team, with NCS Australia experts joining panels alongside business leaders, asset owners, operators and partners, sharing industry and sector insights across water, energy, healthcare and transport, and spotlighting use cases and possibilities for adopting digital solutions and artificial intelligence for smart cities. 

“Our team look forward to sharing insights and their experiences working across Australia to support the adoption of smart cities technologies, which can help deliver efficiencies and improvements in services, contributing to the liveability and sustainability of our great Australian cities,” said Tony Bailey, Chief Client Officer, NCS Australia. 

“With a strong heritage supporting both public and private clients and a commitment to be close to our clients – including in Adelaide, where we have one of our seven Australian offices – NCS Australia is proud to be involved in Smart Cities Week APAC 2024.”
