3rd February 2015

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) is pleased to support a new event, “Winning Business – The Future of Smart Cities and Urban Innovation” which takes place at Greater London Authority Headquarters (City Hall), The Queen's Walk, London, SE1 2AA Friday, 6 March 2015 from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm London.

The Mayor of London in partnership with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) London are organising the one-day event which will enable companies to better understand the latest developments in the area of smart cities development and urban innovation.

Global challenges such as climate change, resource security and demographic change create high demand for "smart" solutions i.e. ones that make cities work more effectively: socially, economically and environmentally. It is estimated that by 2020 the global market for smart urban solutions and services will be worth around £250bn.
