Dear Entrepreneurs and Investors:

The Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce (PRCC) is pleased to invite you to be part of the first Summit on The Role of Cities in a Global Economy, taking place on November 28, 2012 at the Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza Hotel. This unique event will be a preamble for the forthcoming 100 Years Centennial Celebration of our Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce in 2013.

What competes in our global economy are not necessarily countries, but cities and regions due to underlying economic forces of the economy of agglomeration. The MIT SENSEable City Lab has developed the technology for real-time digital data planning as enabler , which is financially viable through Public Private Partnerships for People, in order to unleash and work optimally the market forces of the economy of agglomeration and achieve a cohesive Sustainable, Wireless, Smart and Low Carbon Economy City and region. Demography and the needs of the population served (Inverted Pyramid) will undoubtedly have to be addressed in this scenario.

Our 2012 Summit on The Role of Cities in a Global Economy will show how Real Time Digital Data Planning and other innovative technologies can be used to break traditional barriers, allowing cities to serve the needs of their citizens in a more effective manner, while reducing costs and creating new business opportunities for providers of goods and services alike.

We have prepared a robust agenda that will be delivered by a remarkable line-up of visionary and forward thinking speakers. The stellar invited guests include Dr. Carlo Ratti, Executive Director SENSEable City Lab at MIT, Dr. Martin Flemming, IBM’s Chief Economist and Vice President, Business Performance Services, Dr. Anthony Townsend, Research Director of the Institute for the Future and Mr. Mark Spelman, Managing Director Strategy of Accenture, among others.

The event conferences and panels will discuss Global Landscape; Real Time Digital Data as Enabler of Sustainability, Quality of Life and Competitiveness; Using Real Time Data Planning & ICT to Unleash the Economy of Agglomeration Forces Underlying the Urban Setting; Public Private Partnerships for People: Financing the Smart City, and other topics of great interest.

We look forward to your participation on this unique and unparalleled event. To make reservations and/or obtain more information, visit http://www.camarapr.org or call 787-721-6060 from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m.
