Smart Living 2030
From Intelligent Homes to Smart Cities

​How we live and work is being redefined by technology. From homes that anticipate our needs to buildings that manage their own energy and cities that learn from their citizens, the built environment is undergoing a profound transformation. 

 

The Smart Living 2030 track explores how deep technologies, from artificial intelligence and sensor fusion to digital twins, edge computing, and distributed energy systems are transforming the built environment. These innovations operate beneath the surface of everyday life, turning buildings into data-rich ecosystems capable of self-monitoring, learning, and adaptation.

 

This convergence of hardware, software, and energyintelligence represents one of the most complex and impactful frontiers in Deep Tech: the re-engineering of physical infrastructure through computation, automation, and sustainable design.
