OCTOBUS: What We Learned at Smart City Expo and Our Next Steps 

We left Barcelona with a strengthened conviction: urban systems must prioritize better outcomes for people. Across three full days at the Smart City Expo World Congress, we met with city-builders, integrators, and technology leaders. We were honored to present with HafenCity Universität Hamburg (HCU) on co-creation for more livable and resilient cities.

Key Takeaways

1. Value first. Technology second. Solutions must be created using integrations, data models, and open APIs to be sustainable and scalable.

2. Collaboration accelerates progress. Interoperability and shared purpose move everyone forward faster.

3. Mindset matters most. Smart cities rely on aligned people and processes across sectors and systems, not just sensors alone.
