Evolve Arena er en opplevelsesbasert møteplass om morgendagens byutvikling.
Vi tilrettelegger for gode, inkluderende og inspirerende møter mellom alle som har et brennende engasjement for bærekraft, fremtiden og smarte teknologiske løsninger.
Evolve Arena skal være den ledende kraften, og en katalysator, for utviklingen av fremtidens byer.
Alle snakker om det! Smart mobilitet, smartere infrastruktur og bærekraft. Nye mobilitetsløsninger samt en ny delingsøkonomi vokser frem.
Dagens lineære bruk-og-kast modell er et stort ressursproblem, og er i ferd med å nå sin grense. Dette krever nytenkning rundt alt vi produserer og bygger.
Å skape et bærekraftig og smart samfunn krever mye mer enn tekniske løsninger. Det handler også om å skape humane og sunne miljøer der mennesker kan trives.
Byutviklingsprosesser kan brukes strategisk for å påvirke folkehelsen. Vi må skape et samfunn som fremmer helse i hele befolkningen. Men hvordan?
Disse foredragsholderne ble booket for Evolve Arena 2020.
Vi jobber med programmet for 2021. Noen endringer vil kunne forekomme.
