MOSCOW, Oct 15, 2019, Pan Pacific Agency. Global technology conference “Sooner Than You Think: Smart Cities” organized by Bloomberg and Skolkovo Foundation will be held in Moscow on October 22 as part of the “Open Innovations” International Forum, press service of the event told Pan Pacific Agency. Technology conferences have been held since 2017 by the event division of Bloomberg in the UK, the USA, France and Singapore.

“Sooner Than You Think” conferences combine the experience of one of the world’s largest business information agencies with the capabilities of the analytical resources of Bloomberg Global Data and Bloomberg Intelligence. “Panel discussions and open interviews at the conference will be devoted to the development of “smart city” technologies in Russia and the world. 5G networks, unmanned vehicles, face recognition systems – innovations aimed at strengthening high-tech infrastructure.
