What happened
The Artificial Intelligence and Green City Transition Innovation Forum was held on September 15th at GreenCities 2026 in Malaga, co-hosted by NSGC and BIC EURONOVA, with representatives from more than 80 global city governments and companies including Telefónica, Vodafone, Google, and Amazon.
Why it matters
The forum gathered city officials and major technology companies to discuss applying artificial intelligence to urban green transitions, and it hosted the Green Transition Award, which recognizes contributions to regional green transition.
What to watch
Whether the roundtable discussion and award lead to concrete follow-up projects is not stated, so the forum's impact will hinge on actions by the participating city governments and enterprises.

The forum was part of GreenCities 2026, an event that this year drew representatives from more than 80 global city governments, international organizations, universities, research institutions, testing and certification agencies, and companies including Telefónica, Vodafone, Google, and Amazon. The roundtable brought together Dr. Alvaro Simon de Blas, President of NSGC and General Director of BIC EURONOVA; Dr. Dania Abdul Malak, Director of ETC-UMA; Dr. Stephane Ruiz, Director of ESSSA Malaga; and Mrs. Analía Gurracino Roumieux, Head of the sustainability department of APPLUS. They discussed artificial intelligence applications in green transition and shared practical cases and future expectations.
The forum also hosted the Green Transition Award ceremony, described as one of the highest awards in global green and sustainable development, initiated by NSGC to recognize city governments and enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to regional green transition. The list of winners was displayed at the event.
What the forum will concretely change is not spelled out in the article, so its practical effect is likely to depend on whether the participating cities and companies turn the discussions into joint projects or commitments.
