About the CITIES final conference

In CITIES we integrate energy systems powered by intelligent use of data.

Could we be 100% fossil-free tomorrow? Join us for a day focused on the latest developments within intelligent energy systems in CITIES

In the research project CITIES – Center for IT Intelligent Energy Systems – universities, industrial partners and utilities have been researching the use of data for energy optimization in cities for seven years.

At our final conference – November 9, 2020, we are focusing on how digitalization can accelerate the green transition and what it takes before we can take full advantage of digitalization. Join us virtual.

You will meet experts from Denmark, the USA and Korea and get examples of how we already use digitalization and what is possible, as well as we look into the future to see what are the next steps in Denmark and internationally.
