Sino-German Smart City Workshop, also the Second Working Meeting for the project team on “Strategic Studies into Smart City Construction and Promotion in China”, was held in Ningbo on September 10, 2012. Prof. Ulrich J. Glotzbach from the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech), Prof. Michael Dowling from the University of Regensburg, along with Prof. Gerhard Stryi-Hipp from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Germany, came to attend the symposium upon invitation from CAE, and gave thematic presentations as to cutting-edge technologies and hot topics such as the internet of things, cloud computing as well as the business model for smart cities.

The workshop focused on major engineering science and technology issues facing the process of constructing and promoting smart cities in China in the future, aiming at learning advanced experiences from developed European countries such as Germany in the field of smart city construction. This workshop also attached great importance to the combination of theoretical knowledge and practice, thus promoting the initial results achieved in previous stages to be verified through practice as soon as possible.
