French Talk – Smart Cities – Kuala Lumpur

18 Sep 2018

We joined this round table conference and meet with great speakers @ French Talk – Smart Cities, where they will present various approaches on the use of data for the development of smart cities in the context of Malaysia & France, to open a multi-cultural dialogue on those issues.

We found very interesting the various position and development of smart city frameworks and developed projects by different cities in Malaysia and France.
