Cities everywhere are turning to smart technology to solve their most pressing issues of transport, education and housing. What will the impact of these technologies be on social cohesion and the environment?
One emerging technology for cities is Smart Agriculture which includes vertical farming, smart greenhouses and IOT-empowered open field agriculture. These technologies, along with a growing movement of young farmers across the globe, have the potential to transform the food system that cities and people depend upon. Startup Cities is proud to bring together entrepreneurs working on these issues for a panel discussion followed by networking. Drinks provided.
