Keynote
DSS represented at SXSW 2019 in Austin, Texas
Our own Marco van Hout will be speaking at the Data Sharing in the City of the Future event at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2019 in Austin, Texas!
Description
What if cities of the future have solved the challenges of today, like tackling traffic congestion and improving air quality? Where citizens and companies receive city permits in no time. And where local companies grasp the opportunities of new data-driven economies and where no citizen is left behind in the digital transformation?
Data-driven solutions holds the key for optimizing public value and harnessing risk in cities of the future.
How does the future of cities look like when data sharing is facilitated by new data sharing technologies, like blockchain?
It is hard to object against the introduction of this theme but there are many questions and challenges to overcome. What about business models, ownership of change or the process of transformation? Municipalities, industry experts and the audience interact to understand the (public) value and nonsense of data-driven solutions for cities and communities.
