The international urban technology exhibition opens at EXPO XXI Warsaw, bringing together city authorities, technology providers, experts, investors and urban innovators on 16–17 September 2026. 

Smart City Expo Poland 2026 officially opens its doors at EXPO XXI Warsaw, creating an important platform for cooperation, knowledge exchange and the presentation of technologies designed to make cities more efficient, sustainable, connected and responsive to the needs of their residents. 

As Poland’s only exhibition dedicated entirely to urban technologies and a rapidly developing industry event in Central and Eastern Europe, Smart City Expo Poland connects representatives of cities, local governments and public institutions with companies developing practical solutions for the cities of the future. 

Across the two-day event, participants will explore innovations spanning urban mobility, public transport, energy management, telecommunications, waste management, smart infrastructure and digital public services. The exhibition provides an opportunity to examine how emerging technologies can support better decision-making, improve the delivery of essential services and enhance the overall quality of urban life. 

At a time when cities are facing increasing pressure to modernise infrastructure, reduce their environmental impact and respond more effectively to changing social needs, cooperation between the public and private sectors has become increasingly important. Smart City Expo Poland creates a focused environment in which city leaders can identify solutions, exchange experiences and establish partnerships with the organisations capable of supporting urban transformation. 

The event places people at the heart of the smart city concept. Technology is presented not simply as an objective in itself, but as a practical tool for creating safer, more inclusive and accessible urban environments. From intelligent transport and energy-efficient buildings to data-led city management and connected public services, the solutions showcased demonstrate how innovation can deliver meaningful improvements for communities. 

Warsaw provides a fitting setting for these discussions. As one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most dynamic capitals, the city reflects the region’s growing commitment to digitalisation, sustainability and modern urban development. Hosting Smart City Expo Poland in Warsaw further strengthens the exhibition’s role as a meeting point for decision-makers, innovators and industry professionals from Poland and beyond. 

In addition to presenting new technologies and services, the exhibition encourages dialogue on the policies, financing models and partnerships needed to move smart city projects from concept to implementation. It offers exhibitors direct access to municipal decision-makers while enabling city representatives to compare solutions, learn from successful projects and identify approaches suited to their communities. 

The organisers extend their sincere appreciation to all partners, patrons, participating cities, exhibitors, speakers, industry experts, visitors, media representatives and supporters whose dedication has contributed to the preparation and successful opening of Smart City Expo Poland 2026. 

Their continued cooperation is essential to building an exhibition that supports innovation, strengthens public–private collaboration and contributes to the development of smarter, greener and more people-centred cities.
