SCEWC 2026 Day 2 recap

Hectic second day at the Smart City
Expo World Congress here in Barcelona.

There were many interviews,
many panels, many visitors.

At the Kurrant booth, we held the deal
reveal with the jury and the startups,

Now we will find out
who gets the €10,000.

...the grant
goes to...

FireTracking!

Some of the VCs are to continue
the conversation with the finalists,

and Lucy Group are piloting
Trails' solution.

We had panels at
our booth as well.

The first one with Paradox
Engineering, CiviSmart, and Fluvius,

in which we discussed
how to scale

smart street lighting
safely in times of AI.

We also had a panel with
TALQ, Zhaga, and DALI

in which we talked about lighting
data and interoperability.

As for interviews, we held
many interviews on our booth,

Keep your eye on Kurrant as the
full interviews will be out soon.

As for the expo itself,
it's an amazing edition

to hear about cities and utilities'
real projects with real numbers.

Like the city of Los
Angeles was telling us

about how they are going
to deploy 60,000

solar streetlights
with Fonroche Lighting.

So real cities
with real scale.

And I mean, even Flanders,
the region of Flanders,

with 1.2 million controllers
on their streetlights.

We also saw Veolia explain
how they are using AI

in their waste management plants
and their water treatment plants

to improve
efficiency.

So all in all, this
edition is proving

that it's one about
real-world projects.
