Welcome Back!

How was your week? As a treat, we've collected some great contributions from our members to get excited about. 

One thing we are looking forward to, is going back to Smart City university. A place where we learn how to apply Amsterdam's Smart City approach to the Brazilian context.

You'll also see the promising LEAP project featured in a podcast from DELL and we get to take a look at the dangers and perks of digital twins. 

As we promised, plenty to be excited about. Until next time!

We’re teaming up with Amsterdam University of Applied Science and Insper to develop an online course on this topic.
