Organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy and in partnership with Urban Scope, the event will gather leaders from public administration, the private sector, and academia to discuss, award, and promote the best smart city projects and solutions. In an era where climate change and the need for sustainable development are more pressing than ever, SCIA positions itself as the ideal platform to inspire and accelerate the adoption of green policies and technologies.
This year’s edition focuses on projects that contribute to sustainability goals, from eco-friendly urban mobility solutions to advanced technologies for energy efficiency and waste management. This focus is intentional, addressing the need to build cities that meet environmental, economic, and societal challenges in a balanced and innovative manner.
The opening conference, "Bucharest Smart Energy Summit," will address topics such as integrating renewable energy into urban infrastructure, increasing energy efficiency in buildings, and using smart technologies to reduce cities' carbon footprints. This conference underscores SCIA's commitment to promoting a greener and cleaner urban future.
Participating in the SCIA Gala is a unique opportunity for RoGBC members to connect with industry leaders, learn about the latest innovations, and explore new partnerships to support the sustainability goals of our cities. It is also a platform to showcase the efforts and achievements of our members in green building and sustainable urban development.
We invite you to join the community of leaders, decision-makers, and experts at the SCIA Gala on April 4th to celebrate and inspire change towards smarter and more sustainable cities.
"Romania has become a true benchmark and center of innovation regarding smart cities, as evidenced by the continuous growth in the number of projects dedicated to transforming our localities into modern and connected urban or rural entities. From small initiatives to ambitious national projects, our collective efforts demonstrate our commitment and ability to adopt and implement innovative technologies to improve quality of life and transform the urban environment into a more sustainable and efficient one. These initiatives represent not only examples of excellence in technology and sustainability but also fundamental pillars in building a more promising future for all our citizens. It is essential to highlight and publicly recognize these remarkable efforts as they serve as sources of inspiration and models for other communities, thus contributing to the expansion and strengthening of the movement towards smart cities and towns across the country," says Eduard Dumitrașcu, President of ARSC.
At the SCIA Gala, the potential of Romania in the Smart City field will be discussed by Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja, the Mayor of Sector 6 and President of the SCIA 8 Jury, Ciprian Ciucu, and other representatives from the public and private sectors. The event is expected to welcome over 400 participants—leaders, decision-makers, and representatives of major technology companies.
