Urban Tech Summit

This year’s Urban Tech Summit will examine the ways partnerships enable innovation in a moment when new approaches are increasingly vital.

Urban tech innovation is at a crossroads. Cities face mounting pressure to deliver affordability, quality of life, and resilience, all while cutting costs. Meanwhile, traditional sources of public infrastructure funding are in retreat. And an increasingly powerful AI industry is putting cities’ sustainability and equity goals at risk and undermining public trust in technology as a tool for good.

The 2026 Urban Tech Summit will explore strategies for the generative city — a place where AI is no longer a threat for responsible innovation, but its catalyst.
