We are FCC - Nº4

The FCC Group participated in the industry’s most important smart cities event: the Smart City Expo World Congress 2017, which was held in Barcelona on 14-16 Novem- ber at the fairgrounds in Gran Vía, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat. On this occasion, the FCC Group was represented by the Environ- ment and Infrastructure business area under the slogan “A better world in which to live”. The 120 square meter space or- ganized by the Company featured relevant information on the two bu- siness areas and their positioning within the framework of Smart Ci- ties. Several of their innovative pro- jects were displayed in screens pa- nels and in interactive media. The Smart City Expo World Con- gress has become a global refe- rence in the smart city concept. It brings together municipal and ins- titutional representatives, academic leaders, research centres, compa- nies and entrepreneurs who enjoy a significant decision-making power. As a driver in the development of Smart Cities, FCC is aware of the challenges posed by the new so- cial-economic context and of the essential necessary collaboration among companies, public adminis- trations and citizens. These messa- ges, jointly with the presentation of various smart solutions, were dis- played at a stand where the Com- pany presented its best practices and projects. Present at the Smart City Expo World Congress As one of the founding partners of the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), the most important inter- national events on smart cities, the first of which was held in 2011 in Barcelona, FCC participated for the sixth consecutive year in this event that has become a global reference. Jordy Payet, the CEO of FCC Medio Ambiente, and Santiago Farré, the director of the East Branch of FCC Construcción, participated in the event on behalf of FCC.
