Climate Crisis and Valencia: An Urgent Call – Join the Conversation at SCEWC

The climate crisis affects everyone, but some regions are especially vulnerable. Areas like Italy and the Mediterranean—true climate hotspots—face extreme weather with often limited response resources, highlighting the need for urgent action to protect land and implement long-term resilience strategies.

Yet recent disasters in Valencia and Italy remind us that such events are no longer rare; we must shift from reaction to prevention.

WiseTown stands in solidarity with impacted communities and advocates for a new, proactive mindset. Advanced solutions to predict and mitigate climate impacts already exist but are often underutilized. A sustainable future depends on combining innovative technologies, robust infrastructure, and forward-thinking policies.

The Smart City Expo is a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions for more sustainable, resilient cities. Let’s seize this moment—join the conversation.

WiseTown looks forward to welcoming you in Barcelona!

WiseTown will be represented at the Expo with its exhibit in Hall 3, Stand D 60, within the Italy Pavilion, as well as at Wiseland—Hall 3, Position F 164—the first Italian business unit dedicated to Digital Twins, where WiseTown is a founding partner.
