About this Event

Whilst the prospect of a global pandemic has been expected for many years, no one could have predicted the timing or nature of the current coronavirus crisis.

Presented in association with the Chief Executive's Club at Queen's and featuring Deborah Colville, founder of Smart Belfast, Belfast City Council and Dr Philippe Bouvier, INREGU France, we shall look at the impact of the crisis on cities and examine the trends before and after the pandemic.

We will look at the opportunities presented by smart technologies and how we move from innovation to disruption and ask the question - where should we invest and create now?
