Success stories

Cities today face urgent challenges — from climate change to rapid urbanisation and inequality — while innovation creates solutions once unimaginable. What matters now is transforming bold ideas into scalable impact, which is why I am honoured to serve on the jury of the QBE Insurance AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge 2025, hosted by Leading Cities, the world’s leading program for urban resilience and smart city innovation.

Embarking on a groundbreaking journey with ERIA, I’m thrilled to contribute to shaping sustainable urban futures across Southeast Asia. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in my career, bridging European expertise with ASEAN’s unique challenges to drive innovative, data-driven solutions for tomorrow’s smart cities.

At the 19th ITS Asia-Pacific Forum 2024 in Jakarta, the vibrant ITS community gathered to discuss Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). As a distinguished speaker, I fostered enriching dialogues on deep sustainability, urban digital twins, and data governance. Engaging with transportation specialists from Southeast Asia, we explored new horizons for the new Indonesian capital.
