The importance of cities is undeniable. People across the globe are increasingly moving to urban centres while climate change and technological advancements are rapidly changing the way we live. What is the future of cities? And what role do businesses have to play in shaping this future, from urban design to transportation, infrastructure, socialisation, digitisation and beyond?
Join us 31 January at 18:00 for expert perspectives from:
- Frode Hvattum, Head of Strategy at Ruter
- Silje Bareksten, Head of Sustainability and Technology at Nor-Shipping and former Head of Smart City Oslo
- Johan Høgåsen-Hallesby, Chief Technology Officer at Urban Sharing
It’s the first event in a new afterwork series presented by Business for Peace and MESH. Come hear brief talks from each of our guest speakers then stay for a Q&A. The bar will be open for mingling afterwards too!
The event is free to attend (you’ll just have to pay for anything you purchase from the bar) but please RSVP to let us know you’ll be joining us. If you don't have an Eventbrite ticket, you can show up just before 18:00 and we'll let you in if space permits.
