We’re excited to share that SaferPlaces will be exhibiting at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 (SCEWC), taking place in Barcelona, 4–6 November 2025.

Hosted annually since 2011, the Smart City Expo World Congress has become the world’s leading event for cities and urban innovation, shaping a new vision for more sustainable, efficient, and human-centered urban environments. The event is a premier venue where a diverse community of industry executives, government leaders, researchers, urban pioneers and entrepreneurs gathers annually to address the complex challenges of building smarter cities.

The 2025 edition will welcome over 25,000 professional visitors from more than 130 countries around the globe, 1,100+ exhibitors, 600+ speakers, and representatives from 850+ cities. The conference will focus on key topics from Enabling Technologies, to Energy & Environment, Infrastructure & Building, Governance & Economy: all aimed at accelerating the transition toward a smarter urban future. 

As cities around the world face growing challenges from climate change and urbanization, SaferPlaces is committed to advancing data-driven solutions that make urban environments more resilient to flood risk. With this idea in mind, we are proud to present SaferCAST, a new AI-powered early warning and forecasting service by SaferPlaces, designed to help cities and utilities anticipate and mitigate the impacts of heavy rainfall and urban flooding, transforming weather data into real-time intelligence for more resilient urban systems.

Participating in the SCEWC 2025 offers us a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase innovation, and strengthen collaborations with city leaders and experts shaping the future of smart and climate-resilient cities.

This year, SaferPlaces has been selected to exhibit within the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) Pavilion, joining a delegation of innovative Italian SMEs and startups representing Italy on this global stage. The Italian Trade Agency (ITA), as part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, supports the international growth of Italian companies and promotes foreign investment in Italy, helping connect national innovation with global opportunities.

We are also proud to be part of the Emilia-Romagna Region’s Innovate Cluster delegation, coordinated by ART-ER (Attractiveness Research Territory). ART-ER is a regional consortium dedicated to fostering sustainable growth by strengthening innovation, research, and international collaboration across the business and research ecosystem of the Italian region Emilia-Romagna.

You can find SaferPlaces at:
📍 Gran Via, Hall 2, Level 0, Street C

  • Stand 161 (ITA Pavilion)

We look forward to connecting with cities, researchers, and innovators from around the world to share how SaferPlaces is contributing to shape smarter, safer, and more resilient urban environments.
