Are you in Barcelona during the Smart City Expo World Congress (November 13 - 15)? Have you ever helped a homeless person? Do you think smart city development should be inclusive? Do you believe actions speak louder than words?
If you agree with all the question or at least you have some thoughts about it, we invite you to come see us and share your thoughts in front of the Smart City Expo World Congress entrance at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona.
Why is #HomelessEntrepreneur participating in Smart City Expo World Congress?
“We believe that Smart Cities should involve all organizations and citizens in its development. We strongly encourage both the public and private sector to build an inclusive model where homelessness as we know it ceases to exist. Technology can speed up the process of creating sustainable work and dignified housing for and with homeless people willing and able to tell their story and work to become active citizens again.”
What are #HomelessEntrepreneur’s goals at the Smart City Expo World Congress?
Raise Awareness both online and offline: We will communicate with Smart City Expo World Congress guests online as well as at the entrance and around the city to build upon our 3 strategic pillars; knowledge, recognition and change. The goal is that these conversations with professiomals, influencers in the business world and media representatives lead to real real change for the homeless.
Example: We participated in a board meeting with Leading Cities thanks to an invitation from their local coordinator Joaquín Rodriguez Alvarez. We met their president and CEO, Michael Lake, and many other professionals involved in making smart cities even smarter.
Build Partnerships: we are looking to partner up with corporations and individuals who would like to help transform our business processes with the ultimate goal of creating more job and housing opportunities for and with homeless people in our program.
A current example: We are building an app with SAP’s Belgian and Dutch sales department in Barcelona in order to collect clean data about homelessness in real-time so we can make better decisions and more importantly create a tool that can be used by organizations around the world..
Raise Funds: On a small scale, we’d like to raise between 10,000€ to end homelessness for 1 #HomelessEntrepreneur in our program by funding his or her project. On a large scale, we’d like to raise 1,5 million euros to provide economic stability and growth for #HomelessEntrepreneurs on a European level.
o As soon as we raise funds, we will share it in this article. Please contact us if you are interested in donating!
