ICF TOP7 Conference in Binh Duong, Vietnam June 20-21, 2022
Each year, after the Smart21 Communities have been announced, the process continues with the announcement of the Top7 Communities of the Year, finalists for the award. Top7 Announcements typically take place in June. In addition to the awards for the TOP7 cities, this year’s conference will look at the following theme: After the Pandemic: How Digital Innovation Drives Growth in Our Communities. From June 20-21, 2022, the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) and Binh Duong province are pleased to jointly present the 2022 Top7 Intelligent Communities Conference & Announcement.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought devastation to communities across the globe. It left behind personal loss, economic disruption, unemployment and overwhelmed healthcare systems. Fortunately, most communities are now reopening and economies are starting to recover. Over these past 2 years, digital technology and innovation have proven to be the most important drivers for recovery and social and economic progress, even under unprecedented conditions. Digital communications provided people with the means to work from home or follow online classes, and e-commerce and other digital services accelerated, including online access to medical care. In short, the true potential of digitalization, technology, and Intelligent Communities was revealed to the world.
The province of Binh Duong (Vietnam) embraced the concept of innovation-driven economic transformation and digitalization back in 2016 when it started its ambitious Binh Duong Smart City program. Supported and inspired by the 2011 ICF Intelligent Community of the Year, Eindhoven in The Netherlands, Binh Duong started an impressive journey of Intelligent socio-economic development. More about this virtual and on-site conference and how you can be a part of it will be posted soon. Save the date now and watch for updates at: https://www.intelligentcommunity.org/top7_announcements
