In the beginning of November this fall, SurplusMap participated in the Smart City Expo 2024 in Barcelona. The theme of the expo, Live Better, inspired conversations about creating more sustainable, livable, and resilient urban spaces. Bringing together innovators, city planners, and policymakers from around the globe, this event provided a platform for SurplusMap to showcase how turning data into actionable insights can transform decision-making and ultimately improve quality of life in cities.
Empowering better decisions for better cities
At the heart of SurplusMap’s mission is a simple yet powerful goal: to empower decision-makers with AI-driven insights and geospatial intelligence to enable efficient deployment and management of EV charging infrastructure worldwide. A solid EV charging infrastructure is the very foundation to accelerate the transition to electric mobility. However, the rapid expansion of EV adoption presents tough challenges; particularly in planning and deploying high-power fast chargers. These installations require significant power capacity and heavy investments, making site selection and optimization critical for CPO’s and municipalities, amongst others.
During the Smart City Expo, we got to present how SurplusMap addresses these challenges for our clients. By analyzing geospatial and power grid data to identify the most efficient and viable locations for EV charging infrastructure, our platform considers key factors such as grid availability and capacity, land use, accessibility, and future demand projections. By providing precise and unique data-backed insights,we shared how SurplusMap can helps stakeholders minimize investment risks, reduce deployment timelines, and ensure that infrastructure meets both current and future demands. In a sector where every charging station represents a significant financial commitment, SurplusMap can be a powerful tool for EV companies and municipalities to make decisions that are both sustainable and cost-effective—accelerating the transition to cleaner urban mobility.
Our vision for a smarter future
As cities around the world face big challenges from urbanization and climate change, SurplusMap is committed to being a trusted partner in their transformation. Participating in the Smart City Expo 2024 was a testament to our shared vision of a world where smarter decisions lead to healthier, more sustainable, and more vibrant communities. We’re excited about the new connections, collaborations, and ideas sparked at this event, and we look forward to continuing our work with partners across the globe.
Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, joined our presentations, and shared their vision for a smarter, better urban future. Together, we can turn data into decisions—and decisions into action!
