BridgeSF is a highly interactive, three-day conference for the public and private sectors in the growing GovTech field, bringing together cities, start-ups, academia, enterprise companies, venture capitalists and media from around the world. Selected startups had the chance to highlight their company and product to the audience of City Government and International Government delegates including mayors, CTO's, CIOs as well as VC's.
Rombit founder and CEO Jorik Rombouts: 'The GovTech field is an ideal platform for high-tech innovation, serving all city users: citizens, businesses and city workers. We are delighted for this international recognition of our proven IoT capability.'
The start-up presented their product A-sign, the world's first wireless electronic street sign. CCO Evert Bulcke said: 'A-Sign is a mobile E-ink device that displays real-time info about parking prohibitions on the curbside. It is a tangible smart city device that is easy to use, easy to read and doesn't require an app to interface with it'.
