Bridge for Cities 4.0, under the theme of “Connecting Cities through the New Industrial Revolution”, has been held in Vienna, Austria from 3 to 4 September 2019.

Based on the success of the previous events, BRIDGE for Cities 4.0 explores the role of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in fostering urban innovation in cities along the Belt and Road and beyond. The “4.0” in the title symbolizes both the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the fourth edition of the event.

In general, the event promotes the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), with which it shares many similarities, in all participating countries, to encourage municipal officials and development stakeholders to scale up their engagement in inclusive and sustainable urban-industrial development initiatives.

 

Over 30 mayors and more than 800 participants has attended the two-day event, including plenary sessions, exchanges between city leaders and businesses and mayors' roundtables.

During the two day event, Hytera showcased a wide range of critical communication solutions.

The event is conjointly organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Finance Center for South-South Cooperation (FCSSC).
