CEO of Technopark “Idea” Oleg Ibragimov takes part in the Annual Conference of the European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN). This year events are held in Toulon (France) on 27-28 June 2019. The TechCamp is the main EBN technical event where incubation and acceleration practitioners from EU|BICs all over Europe and beyond come together for mutual learning, experience exchange and enhancement of technical know-how.
This year the focus of the TechCamp is on smart cities innovating in a more sustainable way, in line with the European Commission priorities of making a greener Europe and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. EBN wants to know how digital technologies are affecting our lives and will help business to improve their services supporting cities towards an ecologic transition to digital transformation and urbanism that have been implemented in experimental territories.
Oleg Ibragimov noted that with the growth of cities, the problem of comfortable urban space is becoming more urgent. In Europe, this issue is solved taking into account the peculiarities of each city, but there is one important aspect - it is an economic factor, on which all relevant decisions are strung (logistics, ecology, etc.). He explained that profile experts from all sectors are involved in resolving the issue, and representatives of universities in general put the main conceptual points. “For example, the University of Vienna has developed a concept for the development of Krakow. I think it is logical when technological universities are engaged in creating positive energy solutions for urban spaces”, - Ibragimov said.
In addition to the Conference, CEO of the Technopark will take part in the annual meeting of EBN members and the meeting of the Board of Directors, in which countries from outside the European Union will represent.
