AI & Service to society

A pioneering event in Namur, Vivre la Ville aims to raise awareness among public officials, politicians, researchers, and businesses about Smart City issues, as well as to formulate and co-develop concrete best practices.

Innovative and pragmatic, this day is organized around conferences and workshops aimed at questioning the discourse and preconceived ideas surrounding the Smart City on the one hand, and proposing alternative operational models and tools on the other.
