Organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy and in partnership with Urban Scope, the event brings together leaders from public administration, the private sector and the academic environment to discuss, award and promote the best smart city projects and solutions. In an era where climate change and the need for sustainable development are more pressing than ever, SCIA positions itself as the ideal platform to inspire and accelerate the adoption of green policies and technologies.

This year's edition focuses on projects that contribute to sustainability goals, from green urban mobility solutions to advanced technologies for energy efficiency and waste management. This focus is not accidental. It is the direct response to the need to build cities that respond to environmental, economic and societal challenges in a balanced and innovative way.

The opening conference, "Bucharest Smart Energy Summit", will discuss topics such as the integration of renewable energies in urban infrastructure, increasing energy efficiency in buildings and the use of smart technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of cities. This conference underscores SCIA's commitment to promoting a greener and cleaner urban future.

Attending the SCIA Gala is a unique opportunity for RoGBC members to connect with industry leaders, learn about the latest innovations and explore new partnerships to support our cities' sustainability goals. It is also a platform to showcase the efforts and achievements of our members in the field of green building and sustainable urban development.

We invite you to join the community of leaders, decision-makers and experts at the SCIA Gala on April 4 to celebrate and inspire change towards smarter and more sustainable cities.

"Romania has become a real landmark and center of innovation in terms of smart cities, and this fact is confirmed by the continuous increase in the number of projects dedicated to the transformation of our localities into modern and connected urban or rural entities. From small initiatives to ambitious projects at the national level, our collective efforts demonstrate our commitment and ability to adopt and implement innovative technologies to improve the quality of life and transform the urban environment into a more sustainable and efficient one.These initiatives are not only examples of excellence in technology and sustainability , but also fundamental pillars in building a more promising future for all our citizens. It is essential to highlight and publicly recognize these remarkable efforts because they serve as a source of inspiration and a model for other communities, thus helping to expand and strengthen the movement towards cities or smart communes in the entire country"
