Who's our star witness today?

Professor Carlos Moreno is a specialist in the intelligent control of complex systems. Driven by his passion for science, progress and creativity in all its forms, he works for convergence between scientific disciplines and the players in the innovation eco-system, from major industries to start-ups, placing transversality at the heart of his approach.

His work has given rise to an original approach to the Smart City, the Living City, of which he is one of the leading figures on the national and international scene.
As Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the International Forum on the Human Smart City "Live in a living City", he is helping to promote a vision of the Smart City of tomorrow as a citizen-centric city, a city that places people and life, through services and uses, at the heart of its issues and concerns. It helps to spread the word about this theme through the media in France and abroad.

Pr. Carlos Moreno is Associate Professor at the Université́ Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne / IAE Sorbonne Business School, as well as Scientific Director and co-founder of the eTi Entreprenariat Territoire Innovation Chair. He is a member of the Scientific Councils of the Conseil Supérieur de la Formation et de la Recherche Stratégiques (CSFRS) and the Institut Mines-Télécom.

Since February 2015, he has been the special smart city envoy for the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo. Since September 2018, he has been a member of the Strate School of Design in Singapore.
