GIO Smarter Cities

The future of our planet depends on our cities. The wave of overwhelming urbanization presents enormous challenges and opportunities to all of us - especially to city leaders, and specifically now, at this moment of global economic crisis

The good news is; this moment also holds the potential - both technological and political - to transform our cities into living laboratories of sustainability, growth and social progress.

We now posses new tools and models that can make cities more productive, efficient, vibrant and responsive - in a word, smarter

As leaders, we all have a vital stake in ensuring that our cities become more resilient and secure. Indeed, the health of our plant and of society depends on us.

IBM is brining together forward-thinking leaders to explore how progressive cities are modernizing their systems and infrastructures to spur economic development, drive greater innovation, transform for competitive advantage and meet the pressing demands of a more engaged and intelligent citizenry.

We cordially invite you to join us in our Smarter Cities Dinner Roundtable on July 15th , 2009 at the Verdi Ballroom, Cairo Marriott Hotel

Maria Reeves Hayes- VP Corporate Communication - IBM Cooperation

We are looking forwarded to meeting with you, to take our next step together towards a smarter future
