The International Conference on Smart Cities and Urban Innovation (ICSCUI 2026) is a hybrid academic conference scheduled for 23–24 July 2026 in Berlin, Germany. Organised by IIRD Global, the conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to present and discuss the latest advances in smart city technologies, urban computing, and innovation-driven urban development.
The conference covers topics including IoT and sensor networks for urban environments, AI-driven urban analytics, digital twin technologies, smart mobility and transportation systems, sustainable urban energy management, citizen-centric digital services, and governance frameworks for smart cities. Both in-person and virtual participation options are available, making the conference accessible to an international research community.
ICCSUI is part of a broader series of IIRD Global conferences held in multiple cities worldwide. Similar editions have been held or announced in Zurich (April 2026) and Las Vegas (December 2026). The Berlin edition complements the city's practitioner-focused events such as the Smart Country Convention and the Urban Innovation Forum. The conference provides a platform for presenting peer-reviewed research and establishing academic-industry collaborations relevant to urban digital transformation.
