Plenary 4: Creating Sustainable Smart Cities: Fostering a Cohesive Digital Eco-system

The ITM places a great emphasis on digital delivery and there are a considerable number of digital tools available in the market to help achieve this goal. But more than often, these digital tools work in silos without any form of standardization and it can be quite daunting to identify and integrate them into one cohesive system that will improve both productivity and efficiency. ​​

In this session, Manminder Takhar, Global CTO, Global Digital Cities for Dell Technologies, will explore the various digital technologies available in the market for the built environment industry, and how to create a streamlined digital eco-system and adopt them to streamline complex work processes and improve workflow. This includes the use of cloud computing, AI and machine learning. ​​

He will also share insights from Dell’s experience working with other industries to digitalise their processes their workflow and share how to adopt best practices from other relevant sectors. ​​
