The Portugal Smart Cities Summit 2026 brought together policymakers, researchers, companies, and citizens to reflect on the future of smarter, more sustainable, and human-centred cities and territories.
Throughout the event, NOVA Cidade Urban Analytics Lab, as 2026 PSCS Knowledge Partner, contributed to several discussions and initiatives focused on governance, innovation, artificial intelligence, digital twins, sustainability, and territorial inclusion.
From debates on smart governance and the challenges of ensuring an inclusive green and digital transition, to conversations around urban intelligence, digital twins, and the evolving relationship between ports and cities, the summit highlighted the importance of collaboration, technology, and data-driven decision-making in shaping future territories.
Digital Twins and Artificial intelligence emerged as central topics, with reflections on its growing role in public governance, urban planning, and citizen engagement.
A special thank you to all speakers, partners, participants, and visitors who contributed to these conversations and helped make a valuable space for dialogue, innovation, and collective thinking about the future of cities and territories.
