Hence, the exhibition aims to develop smart urban management, sustainable economy, new and renewable energies, green and sustainable transportation, environmental protection, sustainable and smart building, smart government, information and communication equipment and infrastructure, research, innovation, and knowledge-based economy, as well as social sustainability and security.

The event will bring together key stakeholders, urban leaders, investors, innovators, and policymakers from around the world to explore solutions and opportunities in the field of urban sustainability, smart cities, infrastructure development, and green investment.

In addition to the main exhibition, the event will feature specialized panels, networking sessions, and cultural programs, offering a unique platform for dialogue and collaboration.

It will present the latest technological achievements in the field of sustainable and smart industries and cities, promote a sustainable approach in development, and introduce new concepts in the field of structure and sustainable city design, as well as the development of transportation infrastructure.
