Intelligent Cities Conference & Mayor’s Business Forum
From 5–6 March, Opix participated in the Intelligent Cities Conference & Mayor’s Business Forum in Brussels.
Our CEO, Professor Lena Tsipouri, took part as Lead Expert, addressing how cities can support local markets by investing in green technologies and applying ESG and sustainability criteria in public procurement. Professor Tsipouri highlighted that quick wins—such as solar energy and circular economy initiatives—can be combined with a long-term vision for energy conservation and equitable access to renewables. Finally, she underlined the importance of fostering dialogue, promoting collaboration, overcoming mindset barriers, scaling successful practices, and linking workforce skills with education, as key steps toward sustainably strengthening local markets.
