Mobility and congestion are challenges for many cities including Cork. Organisations in Cork are turning to technology to provide better, faster, more sustainable and cheaper ways for citizens to get around.

Urban areas represent 75% of energy consumption and 80% of CO2 emissions worldwide. Combining digital technology with the energy ecosystem will enable a better quality of life, reduced energy consumption and will help meet the needs of the increasing urban population.
