Meet Endava at SmartCitiesWorld Summit 2026

County Hall

London, United Kingdom

24 June 2026

As cities move beyond connected infrastructure toward intelligent, autonomous systems, the challenge is no longer deploying technology, but orchestrating energy, payments, environmental intelligence and public platforms into one interoperable ecosystem. 

Visit our booth at SmartCitiesWorld Summit to learn more, and discuss how intelligent infrastructure, AI and interoperable platforms are transforming the future of urban systems.

Roundtable

“What Local Authorities Really Need from the Energy System”

24 June | 11:30 – 12:30

 

As cities push harder on electrification, the gap between climate ambition and energy system realities is becoming increasingly visible.

 

This exclusive roundtable will bring together city leaders and stakeholders to explore practical approaches to grid constraints, flexibility markets, data visibility and energy-system collaboration.

 

Participation is managed directly through the event organiser.

Why Endava?

Smart cities are not built through technology alone. They depend on trusted orchestration across energy systems, public platforms, financial infrastructure and operational data.

 

Endava helps organisations bridge the gap between infrastructure, intelligence and execution through:

 

  • AI-enabled data platforms
  • IT/OT convergence
  • Real-time payment infrastructure
  • Cross-agency interoperability
  • Public platform modernisation

 

We work across complex ecosystems where resilience, interoperability and trust are critical to delivering long-term impact.
