From Lyon to Barcelona, carrying the voice of urban innovation at the Smart City Expo 2025

Gwenaëlle Carfantan, founder of UrbanThink Platform, will have the honor of speaking at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 to present the project « Lyon Confluence with UrbanThink® Platform ».

This selection marks a major milestone for UrbanThink and a great international recognition of the work done with the SPL Lyon Confluence around the environmental digital twin of the Confluence district.

An emblematic project: Lyon Confluence with UrbanThink® Platform

The project Lyon Confluence fully illustrates the vision carried by UrbanThink:
👉 to put environmental data at the service of ecological transition and sustainable urban planning.

Thanks to UrbanThink Platform, the teams of SPL Lyon Confluence have an environmental digital twin encompassing all the energy, climatic, and territorial data of the district.
This tool allows them to visualize, simulate, and manage concrete actions regarding carbon neutrality, biodiversity, and urban resilience.

Beyond technology, it is a new way of thinking about the city, more integrated, measurable, and collective.
