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.


A global meeting for smart cities


Organized annually by Fira Barcelona, the Smart City Expo World Congress is the international reference event for sustainable and connected city stakeholders.

The 2025 edition is set to be the most important ever organized:

  • Over 25,000 professional participants,

  • 850 cities represented,

  • 1,100 exhibitors,

  • 600 speakers,

  • 130 countries represented.

The congress brings together public decision-makers, startups, companies, investors, and researchers around a common goal:
to design more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient cities in the face of climate and societal challenges.

Carry the voice of French innovation in Barcelona


By presenting Lyon Confluence with UrbanThink® Platform, Gwenaëlle Carfantan will highlight UrbanThink's ability to transform environmental data into a decision-making tool.
This approach is at the heart of the issues raised by the Smart City Expo: innovation, collaboration, and sustainability.

This key moment will also be an opportunity to showcase French expertise in urban digital twins and to demonstrate that it is possible to take concrete action to accelerate the ecological transition of territories.
