bee smart city joins forces with RuhrSummit for Smart City Startups

bee smart city joins forces with RuhrSummit, the biggest startup conference in the Ruhr Valley and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). One key topic of this years’ RuhrSummit and its sub-event International Summit is ‘Smart Urban Services / Smart City’. bee smart city will host the corresponding Deep Dive for smart city startups.

“The partnership with RuhrSummit in our home region and state is a great honor for us at bee smart city. The smart city market is a global growth market that offers a lot of business opportunities for startups that help to increase efficiency, livability and prosperity in cities and municipalities. Future-proofing the places we live and work in is a necessity that we all benefit from – as citizens, employees, entrepreneurs or government representatives. Therefore, we help smart city startups and solution providers to connect with potential corporate and government clients, to identify new partners, and to increase their global visibility through our global smart city network and community.”, state Dr. Alexander Gelsin, Bart Gorynski, and Thomas Müller, Founders and Managing Partners at bee smart city.

Sharing best practice solutions globally to accelerate the development of smarter cities and communities is the motivation that drives the fast-growing global platform.

Oliver Weimann, Managing Director of 360° Online Performance Group and organizer of RuhrSummit, stresses the importance of the partnership: “bee smart city as the leading global platform for smart city initiatives is the perfect match for RuhrSummit to present the development and impact of smart city activities for governments but also for companies.
