Cities serve as crucial hubs for the daily lives, work, and activities of billions of people worldwide. The growing global population and heightened risks stemming from human activities have given rise to numerous problems and challenges in the daily lives of urban dwellers, disrupting sustainable and balanced development in urban environments.
The first innovation challenge event in Asian cities strives to engage citizens across this vast continent, harnessing their innovation and creativity to address urban challenges. This event not only seeks to support the business environment in this domain but also aims to assist cities in solving small and medium-scale challenges, contributing to their overall development.
Cities throughout Asia have identified a range of small to medium-scale challenges across various sectors, shared with the secretariat of the Asian Mayors Forum. Now, it’s your opportunity to contribute solutions to these challenges using your ideas, designs, and products, and become part of the urban business landscape. Upon registration, our trainers will furnish participants with a comprehensive list of identified urban challenges.
