Arab Future Cities Summit Qatar welcomes Schneider Electric as a Gold Sponsor at the 2015 edition of the event, to be held at the Ritz-Carlton in Doha, Qatar, on April 13-14, 2015.
The 4th edition of the annual event will discuss the progress, efficient management of resources, future developments and ways of making future cities work better in the Middle East. This association is indicative of Schneider Electric’s continual efforts and consistent commitment towards sustainable development.
Zeroing in on a list of future cities in the world is not an easy feat. Future cities do not develop overnight – they are shaped brick by brick, modeled according to a well-defined strategy. It is these building blocks - the infrastructure, systems, services, technology and most of all, the citizens - that form the cornerstones of any successful smart city of the future.
Fueling these building blocks is the underlying principle of sustainability and strategic urban planning. And understanding these building blocks and principles that make a smart city tick, form the focus of the Arab Future Cities Summit Qatar 2015, to be held on April 13-14, 2015.
The importance of sustainable economic development is emphasized by Ghassan Bhargouth, Country President - Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, Schneider Electric, who will be speaking at the event on Efficient, Livable, Sustainable Smart Cities.
He feels, “With the world battling the energy challenge, Middle East cities must evolve to revitalize their economies, environment and resources while giving its people high quality of life through smarter strategies and solutions. Proper urban planning, strategic collaborations between global and local stakeholders and investments in science and technology will help each component of our city to be healthier and thrive in the long-term. Needless to mention, it will boost commercial investments.
The fourth edition of the Arab Future Cities Summit, Qatar is the ideal platform to network and exchange ideas with leading industry and government leaders- including tried and tested best practices implemented to embed our cities with the pulse of dynamic technology. As our governments move toward innovation and knowledge-based economies, let us make best use of this summit to transform our smart city visions into reality.”
Brad Hariharan, Regional Director, Expotrade Middle East, organizers of the conference, welcomed the association, saying, “Schneider Electric’s commitment towards ensuring a greener, sustainable future, ties in perfectly to the theme of the Arab Future Cities Summit Qatar, an ideal platform for knowledge sharing on building smart cities of the future in the Middle East.
