Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to talk about the possibility of Fiware being a partner for the World Cities Summit. The World Cities Summit (WCS) is a by-invitation only event, an exclusive and premier platform for government leaders and industry experts to address challenges of liveable and sustainable cities, share integrated urban solutions and forge new partnerships. The next edition is set to take place on 8 - 12 July 2018 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, in conjunction with the Singapore International Water Week and CleanEnviro Summit Singapore. Here are some highlights of World Cities Summit (WCS): . Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize - This is a biennial international award that honours outstanding achievements and contributions to the creation of liveable, vibrant and sustainable urban communities around the world. The Prize is awarded to cities and recognises their leaders and organisations for displaying foresight, good governance and innovation in tackling the many urban challenges faced, to bring about social, economic and environmental benefits in a holistic way to their communities. . WCS Mayors Forum - This is an annual by-invitation only global event for city leaders to discuss pressing urban issues and share best practices with one another. The peer-to-peer platform brings together mayors and senior leaders from international organisations and urban solutions industry to exchange experiences in developing integrated urban planning solutions, building economic and environmental resilience, engaging with communities and sustaining a high quality of life in urban regions. WCS 2016 attracted 107 mayors and city leaders. The full list of mayors and city leaders is listed on our website at http://www.worldcitiessummit.com.sg/ministers-mayors-and-participating-city- leaders. During the odd years, the WCS Mayors Forum will be held independently at the city of the previous Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize laureate. Other than the mayors, only the invited guests and partners of WCS get to attend this prestige event. The next WCS Mayors Forum will be held in Suzhou, China from 25th - 28th May 2017, and partners will be invited to this event. . WCS Young Leaders Symposium - This is a select group of change-makers from diverse urban sectors to help shape the global urban development agendas. The Symposium is an exclusive, by invitation, annual meeting for Young Leaders to discuss common challenges and shared solutions in urbanisation. It is a platform that harnesses the collective wisdom and experience of the Young Leaders and to carry out intellectual discourse on urban issues and launch initiatives to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. . Plenary Sessions - These sessions are platforms to gain strategic insights into leadership and governance, and the latest insights on urban liveability and sustainability. . Thematic tracks / Business Forums - Focus on topical issues on creating liveable and sustainable cities. Case studies and best practices will be shared by city leaders and practitioners who have directly led the projects to their successful conclusion. We would like to share this excellent opportunity to network with the urban leaders of the world at the WCS Mayors Forum in Suzhou, 2017 and WCS in Singapore in 2018. Looking forward to welcoming Fiware as partner for the World Cities Summit!
