International
Smart City Expo World Congress is the global event for urban innovation. Next edition: November 3 to 5, 2026, at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, in Barcelona.
Smart City Expo World Congress: the city of tomorrow facing solutions
The exhibition brings together cities, institutions, companies, and start-ups around sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, circular economy, urban data, and responsible AI. It is organized alongside several events, including Tomorrow Mobility World Congress and the Barcelona Cybersecurity World Congress.
Organized by Fira de Barcelona, its last edition gathered more than 27,000 participants, over 1,100 exhibitors (companies and governments), and more than 600 international speakers.
Fira Barcelona Gran Via: a modern exhibition center near the airport
The Fira Barcelona Gran Via venue, located in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, is connected to the metro and the airport. The halls are vast and attendance is high: a clear and welcoming stand is essential to stand out.
Since Spain is in the European Union, transport from France is carried out without customs formalities. We have already built stands at this venue, notably for bioMérieux.
City and innovation stand: our approach
Exhibitors present solutions and territories. The stand must make a technical subject understandable: models, screens, demonstrations, meeting spaces with public decision-makers, all within a coherent architecture aligned with the image of a sustainable city. Visit our local authorities and institutions stand page and our custom-made stands page. We favor simple and reusable materials.

Tips for exhibiting at Smart City Expo World Congress
Tell the story of an urban project: cities want concrete cases, complete with figures and results.
Focus on legibility: in large halls, overhead signage makes all the difference.
Think sustainable: reusable materials and simplicity match the audience's expectations.
Target your appointments: elected officials and technical directors have busy schedules.
