16. Peter Gudmundsson, Rektor KTH:
“Technology and Sustainability are two main drivers for KTH. In Smart Sustainable Cities, those
meet and therefore KTH is quickly increasing its research and innovation activities within the
field. I strongly support this Agenda and we are already using it for further developing our
cooperation with actors from industry, cities, research institutes and universities and for
strengthening KTH's role as an international top university.”
Per Eriksson, Vice-Chancellor, Lund Universitet:
At Lund University we collect research on Smart Sustainable Cities in the Urban Arena. I see
this as a very important area of the future, and I am therefore pleased to express my strongest
support for the Agenda on Smart Sustainable Cities

17. Tack för idag!
