URBIS

URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup 2025, held on 10-12 June 2025 at the Brno Exhibition Centre, confirmed its position as a key platform for the development of smart cities and towns in the Czech Republic and Central Europe. Over 200 companies presented themselves at the Brno Exhibition Centre, and nearly 400 speakers took part in the conference part. Approximately 5,000 visitors passed through the gates of the exhibition centre during the three days.

URBIS has undergone a major transformation and expanded to an international scale. This was highlighted at the official opening ceremony of the trade fair, which launched the program in the Rotunda of Pavilion A, serving as the main conference center.

The URBIS 2025 trade fair and conference has just kicked off at the Brno Exhibition Centre, promising a vibrant first day full of inspiration, innovation, and experience-sharing. The topic of smart cities is more relevant than ever, and URBIS once again confirms its role as a unique platform connecting municipalities, experts, startups, and companies that offer practical solutions for public administration and everyday life.

URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup starts tomorrow at the Brno Exhibition Centre and will run until 12 June. The largest event of its kind in the Czech Republic will combine a trade fair with a conference and will focus on smart solutions for city and municipal management. Representatives of local governments, experts and technology suppliers will share experiences and address topics such as energy self-sufficiency, climate change, smart mobility, data, AI and citizen engagement. URBIS will also offer practical demonstrations, inspiration and funding opportunities.

Bavaria is famous for good beer, crispy pretzels, great soccer and beautiful mountains. But it also offers very advanced smart city technologies, which many Bavarian cities and municipalities use in their daily lives. That's why Bavaria will be one of the partner countries at this year's URBIS - The Smart Cities Meetup, which will take place from June 10 to 12 in Brno.
