As you sit outside a coffee shop, you realize that there's still more that can be done. Your mission is to design innovative solutions that will help AVEVA City become more prosperous, while staying true to its core focus of sustainability.
There are three key opportunities for AVEVA City to grow:
Industrial sustainability
Responsible AI
Digital energy transition
You sip your coffee and scroll through news items on your phone. A headline from The AVEVA City Times catches your eye - it’s about solutions developed by previous AVEVA Partner Games contestants.
Their stories inspire you, and spark thoughts about the new solutions you could create...
