The First Smart City Exchange Forum is the culmination of one year of work and progress by the members of the FinEst Twins research streams. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we were forced to revisit the Smart City Conference originally planned for the 5th of November of 2020 in Tallinn and transform it into the current First Smart City Exchange Forum to be held online on the 21st of January 2021.

The Forum is an online one-day event for the researchers and cities and other stakeholders involved or interested in FinEst Twins Smart City center activities, as well as the ones interested in applying and testing smart city approach through agile piloting in urban context.

During the Forum selected city representatives from Estonia and Finland and FinEst Twins research stream leaders will communicate their ideas and plans in the smart city field, share their research and experiences as well as visions for collaboration with other relevant stakeholders.

The aim of the Forum is to communicate the research content of FinEst Twins and to enhance cooperation and networking between researchers from Estonia and Finland, between cities, policy makers, citizens, NGO-s, SMES and other relevant stakeholders for developing sustainable, resilient and smarter urban environment.

This initiative is supported by the Estonian government (Ministry of Education and Research) and the European Commission (H2020 grant 856602).
