Pioneering work in the Digital Twin sector by Cityzenith has won a major accolade: a Smart City Business Award at the openbusinesscouncil’s (OBC) COVID-19 summit.
Cityzenith wins Smart City Business Award
The event award recognised Cityzenith as one of the “most progressive thinking companies, demonstrating exceptional pioneer work and devotion in the Smart Cities and Government Solutions field of digital transformation”.
This fitted the Smart City Business Award criteria: to highlight any company creating innovative solutions for smart cities, smart government strategic technologies, platforms or services critical to creating better smart, intelligent cities in sectors such as Digital Twin solutions, urban accessibility and mobility, or inclusive and circular economy.
Openbusinesscouncil Summit
The OBC summit also looked at solutions for businesses and governments to foster sales and growth amid the challenges and changes during COVID-19 and, in partnership with the World Smart Cities Forum, offered several awards to recognise start-ups, companies, organisations, personalities, and cities paving the way with outstanding strategies and use of technologies.
They were judged by leading influencers and academics in their fields such as Dinis Guarda (CEO and Founder of openbusinesscouncil) and Michael Stanley Jones (Programme Management Officer at the United Nations Environment Programme).
