#ADW21: Intelligent Infrastructure of the Future

Intelligent Infrastructure of the Future

The 21st-century Infrastructure supporting Industry 4.0 requires the bridging of the physical world with the digital world. The challenge of this infrastructure is the requirement to be densely deployed in cities, on highways and rural communities across our nation. The last five years has highlighted the need for integrated intelligent infrastructure to support many industry and government technologies.

Broadband, resilient electrical grids, charging stations, advancements in technology including NextG wireless, edge computing, intelligent transportation systems and resilient electrical grids are rapidly becoming crucial components of urban infrastructure. This Digital Infrastructure will help solve social issues, create a more responsive city, and develop a better future for every city.

Investment in a 21st-century Intelligent & Autonomous Infrastructure is among the highest priorities for stimulating economic expansion, national security, and job growth.

This event is open to anyone, including industrial designers, engineers, artists, urban planning, real estate developers, and city leaders.

Speaker:

Jeffrey DeCoux | Chairman, Autonomy Institute

Ted Lehr | Innovation Office, City of Austin
