IEG - Italian Exhibition Group has signed a strategic partnership with the Smart City Business America Institute (SBCA) to organise the SCB-Br Expo and Congress as of 2025. SCB Brazil is a leading event for promoting the development of smart cities in Brazil and the next edition will be held 3-4 June 2025 at the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. The event will also be held alongside recent IEG acquisitions MundoGeo, which brings together drones, space and geolocation, and Expo InfraFM, which provides facility, logistics, construction and industrial maintenance services.
In recent years, the Smart City concept has evolved significantly, as cities are increasingly seen as smart ecosystems where technology is used to optimise urban infrastructure and improve citizens’ quality of life.
“The union with SCB-Br reinforces our interest in exploring new markets and new models and strengthens our presence in the trade show and events segment in Brazil,” said IEG CEO, Corrado Peraboni (pictured).
Smart City Business features a considerable public sector presence, from the Prefecture of São Paulo and other provinces to important state bodies such as concessionaires, all of which are interested in innovative and sustainable solutions.
