We Bring Together Great Minds Across the Ecosystem to Discuss, Share and Inspire Ideas of Innovation in Deep Tech

We invite you to join our third PLAN.AI webinar, on the role of technology and design in building resilient and sustainable cities of the future. Presented by SGInnovate and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore, the PLAN.AI series aims to advance the discourse beyond the usual urban planning analytics to AI-powered city planning.
 
The Covid-19 pandemic has made the ideas and insights of smart technology in the fields of urban planning and design even more important, as many cities are looking to implement changes for a more resilient, sustainable and healthier future. Singapore’s National Development Minister Desmond Lee said in September 2020 that “this pandemic has strengthened our resolve to quicken the transformation of our entire construction and built environment sector, so that it becomes more integrated and resilient,” and urged developers to continue leading the charge in research and innovation efforts, and adopting advanced technologies and innovative designs.
 
Join us for an exclusive sharing by Sidewalk Labs, Alphabet Inc.’s urban innovation company working to make cities more sustainable and affordable for all, through technology tools such as Delve that brings machine learning into the urban development process. The sharing will be followed by a fireside chat on how we can work together to build sustainable, affordable and desirable cities of the future.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s study, 47 per cent of the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030. The problem of water scarcity affects urban areas more severely, with 14 of the world's 20 megacities experiencing water insufficiency or conditions of drought.
 
Given the advancement and developments of technology, how can we mitigate these negative trends by harnessing deep tech? What are the practical implementations of innovative solutions from the perspective of the city's management as well as end-users? And does sustainability always mean higher cost?
 
We bring together cross-border and cross-sectoral collaboration projects between Singaporean and Polish water-tech companies that are harnessing the newest technologies to reach sustainability goals. In this panel discussion, we will highlight game-changing solutions in the fields of wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy plants, and utility management.

With the rise of home and building automation, sensor devices are deployed in various IoT applications for monitoring indoor environmental parameters, such as temperature, luminosity, humidity and air quality. An IoT application may contain hundreds and thousands of sensors, which generate an immense amount of data. The data quality is crucial as the generated data provides input for building optimization and even drives decisions- while poor sensor data quality may lead to bad decision-making.
