On 7 and 8 December 2023, the Association of Polish Cities Team will join forces with the Piła Municipal Authority in holding the “Energy Transition – Use of Green Energy in Modern Cities. SMART CITY Technologies as an Energy Management Tool” international conference in Piła. Organised under the aegis of the Speaker of the Wielkopolskie Voivodship, the event will coincide with the “Local Government Leaders of Governance 2023” Competition Gala, which is when winners and finalists of the Competition will be announced.
