Smart Cities New York, scheduled for May 2018, is an annual gathering of thought leaders, to explore various challenges and opportunities facing the world’s cities today. The forum encourages problem solvers to engage with urban citizens to develop the best solutions for global cities. 

Similarly, the One Globe Forum has been India’s leading conference for focus groups of thought leaders, academicians, educators, entrepreneurs, policy makers, influencers, businessmen,government and corporate leaders to discuss, debate and deliberate on development of smart cities and building a 21st Century knowledge economy. 

“Both One Globe Forum and Smart Cities New York share a common objective: We have always believed that cities are the best place to improve the quality of life of citizens, whether it’s cleaner air, less congestion, or better security. Having served as a Vice Chair and speaker at the One Globe Forum for many years, I have seen how innovators and government leaders have spurred cities across the country to use technology to build smarter cities, not only in India but across South Asia. By joining Smart Cities New York with One Globe Forum, we will reach a wider audience and achieve our common goal.” said Jerry Hultin, Chairman, Smart Cities New York. 

The event comes at a time when dense smog blankets most of North India, so finding new solutions for India’s cities is urgent. One Globe Forum, in partnership with Smart Cities New York, will convene experts and leaders to develop new solutions with a focus on life in the 21st century. 

Harjiv Singh, Convener, One Globe Forum and Founder and CEO of Salwan Media Ventures, says:

“India is seeing massive urbanization with over 600 million people expected to be living in India’s cities by 2030. This urban migration is creating new challenges, which need to be addressed urgently. Only then will India be able to compete for talent and produce sustainable economic growth in the global marketplace. For all these reasons, we are delighted to partner with Smart Cities New York in the seventh edition of the One Globe Forum to combine the vitality of New York City with the innovative and entrepreneurial talent of India. The result will be new ideas and solutions that will help India address these challenges.”
