We all want our cities to be safe, sustainable and livable. Getting there depends on how well we can address the complex social and economic challenges standing in our way.Civic leaders can’t (and shouldn’t) be left to do this on their own.

From clean energy and digital connectivity to data and AI, Canada’s innovation ecosystem is ready and able to help overcome our biggest municipal challenges. But to do it we need clear pathways for collaboration and problem solving between innovators and government leaders.

That’s why CityAge and Communitech brought local government and tech founders and business together. On March 3, we explored how municipal governments and the world’s best innovators can explore, define and solve today's complex challenges, and build the future of cities, together.
