Following the two successful CityApps in Kathmandu and Makassar, CityNet continues its partnership with Microsoft CityNext through the third CityApp which will be held in conjunction with this year’s Executive Committee Meeting and International Seminar in Sidoarjo. The two day Appathon will be held from October 7th to October 8th 2015, in collaboration with Sidoarjo Regency and the partner university, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo where CityApp will take place.

Participants of the Executive Committee Meeting and International Seminar participants will get a chance to experience the event as part of the site visits. Approximately 300 young software developers from a number of universities will work to build web and mobile applications to tackle Sidoarjo’s biggest urban challenges.

Working with CityNext will meet CityNet’s mutual goals of creating more people-friendly cities that are innovative, resilient and sustainable. CityApp emphasizes the role of citizens in addressing various urban challenges, which truly depicts the concept of a smart city – active citizen engagement in public policy.

Thank you for your continued support of CityNet and for your unceasing work in making the network more sustainable and equitable. We look forward to meeting you in Sidoarjo!

Sincerely,

Vijay Jagannathan
Secretary General
