By 2050, the United Nations estimates that our planet will have nearly 9.8 billion inhabitants. More than two-thirds of the population will live in cities and the majority in metropolises with more than three million inhabitants. Due to the increasing urbanization of our planet, the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations for 2030 are highly dependent on the evolution and adaptation of its metropolises.
Fortunately, disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence have developed in tandem with the advancement of cities. Growing demand for integrating public-private services has contributed to developing technological solutions intended to create more efficient, safe, and sustainable cities.
"SONDA believes that big projects solve big problems. We have led Smart Cities projects in the region for more than ten years. The primary focus of our work has been to promote collaborative work between public and private organizations and the startup ecosystem. To develop solutions that improve people's quality of life in more sustainable and friendly cities", stated Maurizio Rinaldi, CEO SONDA USA.
