Digitalization is crucial for urbanization to succeed

Does your company work with smart transportation systems, waste management, water treatment, sustainable buildings, agriculture or energy solutions? Perhaps you work with digitalization of education, healthcare or security.

Almost 55 percent of the world’s population live in cities today and by 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 70 percent. Digitalization is one of the most crucial preconditions for urbanization to succeed.

“Year 2050 70 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities.”

Johan Henningsson, Sustainability Manager at SEK
