In a further step towards consolidating Seville as a benchmark for smart urban development, Sevilla City One has signed a membership agreement with Smart Meeting, an international business club made up of business leaders and professionals who share a triple objective: fellowship, promotion of commercial interests and community service governed by high ethical standards.

The agreement, signed this week in Seville, includes the incorporation of Smart Meeting as an active member of Sevilla City One, Metropolis of Southern Europe, an initiative to promote and transform Seville and its metropolitan area into an example of sustainable urban development.

With this alliance, Smart Meeting will bring the experience and strategic approach of an international network of entrepreneurs, professionals and investors. Its members, with high decision-making power, belong to key sectors such as energy, technology, finance, health, tourism and urban development. This collaboration will contribute to the promotion of a more connected, innovative and knowledge-based Seville, strengthening the city’s economic leadership and international positioning.

For Paloma Angulo, Manager of Sevilla City One, “the incorporation of Smart Meeting into Sevilla City One represents much more than an institutional alliance: it is the sum of visions and capabilities to build a Seville that is more dynamic, connected, innovative, open to the world and ready to compete among the great European metropolises. This collaboration strengthens our objective of positioning Seville as a pole of attraction for talent, investment and business leadership, generating opportunities and consolidating Seville as a reference business centre in Southern Europe. Together, we will continue to generate synergies that will drive the Seville of the future.

For his part, Jesús Ortigueira, CEO of Smart Meeting, pointed out that “for Smart Meeting, this alliance with Sevilla City One represents an exceptional opportunity to contribute to the development of a city that we want to make a benchmark in innovation, sustainability and business dynamism. Our vocation is to add talent, international vision and valuable connections to build, together with institutions and companies, a Seville that is ready to lead the future from the south of Europe’.
