CONCEPTNOTE

MobilityTechnologiesEnvironmentEconomyPeopleGovernment

Dear colleague,

Business for Smart Cities is a global event that annually gathers the leaders of the region to define solutions to the problems of their cities and find the most appropriate partners to develop projects and services.

BSC is not a conference or a simple discussion event, it is a space for decision makers of big global firms to find partners, for city leaders to find solutions to their problems, for start-ups to find investors, and for investors to find projects and/or companies to invest in.

We have chosen this time to develop the event at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kyiv. We will turn the Olimpiyskiy into a formidable business center. Its different spaces, multi-purpose rooms, and pleasant facilities with views of the stadium offer an unbeatable place to hold all kinds of meetings and private events.

The event will have morning sessions with well-known keynote speakers recognized worldwide as well as leaders in the region who will talk about real projects. We will hold specialized sessions in different topics and sectors. Large multinational companies, cities, technology centers, investors and start-ups will share a large exhibition area. We will promote networking through private meetings upon request, in which we will put you in contact with the people you are interested in meeting.

As business also requires relaxed environments, we have scheduled cocktails, dinners, concerts and other events to get to know your partners or clients better and close your business.

In the information that we have enclosed in this document, you will find the different possibilities that we offer: from global sponsorization of the event, to rent a space or a stand in the exhibition, to sponsor dinners or networking events, or celebrate your private events with us. BSC creates the opportunity and you only need to take advantage of it.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any specific need or doubt. We are here to serve you.
