The OASC Conference 2026 is the flagship annual event of the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) network — a growing community of over 150 cities and regions across more than 30 countries, committed to building more open, interoperable, and human-centric digital solutions for urban development.
Building on a decade of experience, the OASC Conference continues to evolve, reflecting the needs and ambitions of its member cities and partners. From early discussions on interoperability and minimal interoperability mechanisms (MIMs) to current dialogues around AI, data sovereignty, and funding impact, each edition has contributed to a stronger ecosystem of collaboration, trust, and practical action.
Since its foundation in 2015, OASC has worked to empower local and regional governments to take control of their digital transformation through practical and standards-based approaches. At the heart of this mission is the belief that digital innovation must serve cities and communities and foster collaboration across borders and sectors.
The OASC Conference has become the key meeting point for public administrators, policymakers, technologists, researchers, and innovators who are driving this transformation. Over the years, the conference has travelled across Europe — from Brussels to Rotterdam and Tampere in 2025 — each edition deepening the conversation and strengthening partnerships around shared digital building blocks.
The 2026 edition of the OASC Conference will take place in Fundão, Portugal and will explore how funded projects — from European programmes such as Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and Interregional Innovation Investments, to national and regional initiatives — are shaping the future of digital public services and infrastructure.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
We invite you to be part of this journey in 2026 — to share your experience, shape the conversation, and help define the future of open and agile digital transformation in Europe and beyond!
