The Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) has announced a strategic partnership with the Smart City Business America Institute (SCBA) to host the SCB-Br Expo and Congress starting in 2025. The partnership is a significant step in fostering smart city development in Brazil, a nation on the rise in embracing smart technologies to enhance urban living.
The SCB-Br Expo and Congress is a premier event aimed at promoting the development and implementation of smart city solutions in Brazil.

Recent years have seen a substantial evolution in the smart city concept. Urban areas worldwide are increasingly being transformed into smart ecosystems, utilizing cutting-edge technology to optimize infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for their residents. These advancements are essential in tackling challenges such as urban congestion, energy efficiency, and public safety.
Corrado Peraboni, CEO of IEG, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, "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."
