PNO Digital at City Vision 2026: Connecting Innovation with Real-World Challenges

How can research and innovation help cities become smarter and more sustainable?

On 19–20 October 2026, PNO Digital will participate in City Vision – Stati Generali delle Città Intelligenti, in Padua, Italy, bringing together municipalities, businesses and innovation stakeholders.

On 20 October (9:15–10:45), we’ll contribute to thematic roundtables showcasing two EU-funded projects:

• SOURCE – Energy in Cities: exploring sustainable battery materials, circular value chains and their role in the energy transition.
• ACHILLES – Urban Data and City Governance: addressing Trustworthy AI challenges, including data quality, privacy, explainability and responsible AI adoption.

Both projects will also be featured at our exhibition stand, creating opportunities to exchange knowledge, connect with stakeholders and explore potential collaborations.

Have an innovation challenge? Let’s explore it!

To make these conversations more concrete, we’ve developed an Innovation Check-Up: a short questionnaire to help organisations identify their innovation priorities, challenges and potential next steps.

It also supports SOURCE and ACHILLES stakeholder engagement activities, gathering insights into real-world needs, adoption barriers and potential applications.
