From Smart Cities to the Citiverse: Europe’s Urban Digital Future

Cities are rapidly evolving into hubs of digital transformation, where artificial intelligence and digital twins play a central role in delivering smarter, more sustainable, and citizen-centric services. CitCom.ai, Europe’s Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for citizen-centered AI, offers startups and companies a trusted environment to validate AI solutions for urban challenges. At the same time, the newly created European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) on Local Digital Twins and the Citiverse, headquartered in Valencia, is laying the groundwork for interoperable and sovereign digital twin infrastructures across Europe.
This panel brings together international experts from both initiatives to highlight concrete opportunities for innovators, startups, and corporates. Attendees will discover how to access CitCom services today, and how the Citiverse will open new markets and collaborations tomorrow—making Europe a global leader in trustworthy urban digital innovation.
