Hello, welcome to this talk.
My name is Nathalie Crutzen.
I am Professor of
strategy, performance,
and sustainability at HEC Liege,
which is the Management
School of the
University of Liege in Belgium.
I am also the founder of the
Smart City Institute there.
My talk is about smart cities
and smart territories.
Adopting a strategic
and managerial angle,
I will tackle key challenges,
discuss definitions,
as well as share with
you some considerations to
accelerate the transition.
Concrete examples
will be presented to
illustrate the talk
as much possible.

Before, a few words about
the Smart City Institute.
The Smart City Institute is
an academic institute aiming at
accelerating the
transition towards
more sustainable and
smarter territories.

We have four main missions.
We do research, we do
teaching and training,
we support innovation,
and we try to
create awareness
around smart cities.

We have an original focus on
the management of the
transition towards
smarter and more
sustainable territories
and cities with research,
for example, on
strategy and policy,
governance and
stakeholder dynamics,
new public management,
performance management,
control, monitoring,
impact assessment, as well
as entrepreneurship and
new business models.
For doing this, we have a
multidisciplinary team of
scientific and
applied researchers
using qualitative and
quantitative methodology.
