On March 20th, Living-in.EU is proud to partner with Bordeaux Métropole for a special morning session at the Press Club, in Brussels:
“Bridging the Digital Divide by 2030”, an advocacy session to tackle this crucial issue at European level
Preliminary agenda:
As the Smart Communities Network contact point for Wallonia, IDETA acts as a bridge between local municipalities, regional development agencies, and public administrations. One of eight Regional Development Agencies in Wallonia, IDETA is originally rooted in Picardy Wallonia but actively supports communities across the entire region. We share Smart Communities Network resources directly with Walloon stakeholders and help them engage in collaborative digital initiatives.
The Agency for Home Affairs facilitates Smart City projects for local governments in Flanders, Digital Flanders focuses on vendors and software developers and Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship on the private sector and knowledge institutions. The Smart Region Office facilitates smart communities within the ecosystem of innovation and digitalization in Flanders.
