Las Rozas will host the World’s Smartest Cities at the Top7 Conference ICF in June

"Las Rozas continues to establish itself as a global benchmark in innovation, technological development, and talent attraction," says the city's mayor, José de la Uz.

The city of Las Rozas is solidifying its status as an international leader in innovation and technological development. With a robust strategy for innovation and digital transformation, Las Rozas will host the prestigious Top7 Conference 2025, organized by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), from June 16 to 18 at Hub232.

This event brings together experts from various countries, both from the public and private sectors, who advocate for technological innovation in management as a driving force for smart cities. Each year, the Intelligent Community Forum recognizes the seven leading cities worldwide in innovation and digital transformation.

"Las Rozas continues to grow and gain recognition as a global leader in innovation, development, and talent attraction. Hosting an international event of this scale is a unique opportunity to position Las Rozas as the best place to invest, start businesses, connect, and grow alongside our thriving ecosystem," highlights José de la Uz, Mayor of Las Rozas and President of Las Rozas Innova.

The Intelligent Community Forum is a global network of experts connecting hundreds of cities and regions across five continents to collaborate on economic development and share knowledge and information that drive progress. ICF researches how smart communities leverage information and communication technology to generate inclusive prosperity, solve social challenges, and enhance citizens' quality of life. In March 2024, Las Rozas was recognized as one of the 21 smartest cities in the world in ICF's TOP21 ranking, a precursor to the TOP7. Last year, the TOP7 event was held in Taiwan, and this year, it will take place in Canada on March 5-6, where Las Rozas will participate as a candidate to reaffirm its place among the world's 21 smartest cities.

A Global Recognition and an Opportunity for the Future

The Top7 Conference is a flagship event that brings together technology industry leaders, startups, investors, and public administrations from cities committed to innovation. Its goal is to promote knowledge exchange and experiences on how technology can drive economic and social transformation in 21st-century cities.

The participating cities in this forum represent successful models in the transition towards Smart Cities, thanks to the implementation of advanced technologies in key areas such as mobility, sustainability, artificial intelligence, digitalization, digital inclusion, and talent promotion.

The event will feature roundtable discussions and presentations where different cities will share their best practices and strategies to tackle future urban challenges.

Boosting Las Rozas’ International Presence

The selection of Las Rozas as the host city for the Top7 Conference 2025 reinforces its position as a leader in innovation within the Community of Madrid and internationally. It is the third-largest city in the region in terms of the number of businesses. This recognition aligns with the city’s strategy for digital transformation, entrepreneurship, Smart City initiatives, and sustainability, in synergy with the MOT: Madrid Oeste Tecnológico initiative.

With this milestone, Las Rozas not only strengthens its position as a key player in the smart city ecosystem but also establishes itself as a prime destination for talent, investment, and innovation on a global scale.
