Santo André hosts CPIIC 2026, São Paulo's smart cities congress

Eight days remain until CPIIC 2026, the São Paulo Congress of Lighting and Cities of the Future, which takes over the Technology Park of Santo André (SP) on June 9 and 10. The event brings together public managers, specialists, researchers and companies around a single theme: how to think about urban innovation, infrastructure, sustainability and smart cities for the State of São Paulo.

The program covers PPPs, energy efficiency, smart public lighting, connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, urban mobility and tax reform, a scope wide enough to put those who plan cities and those who finance that transformation on the same panel. Beyond panels and debates, the congress also makes room for technical workshops, with public, academic and private sector institutions sharing the table.

For two days, Santo André takes on the role of hub for the discussion on the digital transformation of São Paulo's municipalities.
