The SmartBlueCity Euro-Mediterranean conference and exhibition is organized annually with the help of many partners and supporters. The aim is to: bring together city and regional authorities with industry, SME’s, academics and professionals; and present current developments and innovative ideas for smartness and growth.

The Conference consists of two interrelated parts, namely:​

the “Scientific” part, in which recent developments and supportive technologies relevant to challenges faced by small and medium-sized

Mediterranean cities and communities will be presented; and the “Exhibition” part, aiming at giving the opportunity to industry and SMEs to present products that can solve current and forthcoming problems of these communities.

The above distinction reflects an effort to bring together scientific knowledge and industry developments for increasing knowledge stock on potential solutions and providing options on technological products and solutions that can support cities and communities in the Mediterranean to cope with current challenges and needs.​
