The Smart Cities Council was proud to be part of Made in Wrocław 2025 — one of Poland’s leading innovation showcases — held on 15–16 October at the iconic Wrocław Congress Center, Centennial Hall.
Under this year’s theme, “Power of Synergy,” the event brought together visionary leaders from business, government, and academia to explore how collaboration can drive innovation and sustainable growth.
SCC x IFZA: Building Global Bridges for Smart Growth
As an official VC Demo Partner, the Smart Cities Council worked closely with the event organizers and partners to spotlight new opportunities for cross-sector collaboration. Together with our valued member, the International Free Zone Authority (IFZA), we were delighted to help connect global and regional innovators, founders, and investors shaping the next generation of smart, livable cities.
Throughout the two-day program, SCC representatives engaged with entrepreneurs, policymakers, and corporate leaders eager to share ideas and explore partnerships across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The energy at Centennial Hall reflected the growing importance of Wrocław as a hub for technology and business excellence, and the city’s ability to connect local talent with international opportunity.
