Cities today face urgent challenges — from climate change to rapid urbanisation and inequality — while innovation creates solutions once unimaginable. What matters now is transforming bold ideas into scalable impact, which is why I am honoured to serve on the jury of the QBE Insurance AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge 2025, hosted by Leading Cities, the world’s leading program for urban resilience and smart city innovation.

This week in Kuala Lumpur, a high-level ASEAN workshop led by ERIA, in collaboration with CITYNET AP and the ASEAN Secretariat, explored sustainable urban development — highlighting how digital tools, resilience, inclusivity, and responsible data governance can shape future-ready cities.

Following an insightful journey this year across MENA, I’m stepping back soon into APAC arena — at a moment when cities and regional governments are being called upon to play a more active role in shaping urban trajectories.

Delighted to reconnect with Nilesh Chauhan, Senior Vice President – Strategic Business at Valtech Mobility GmbH, after our first encounter at Mobility Live ME in #Dubai and this week’s meeting at Valtech SE Paris office.

With my new business card in hand, I’m not just marking a milestone — I’m opening the door to deeper engagement and broader horizons.
