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.
