Madrid, 20 May 2026.

Valoriza has taken part in Future4Cities 2026, one of the leading events on urban innovation, sustainability and the transformation of public services, thereby reaffirming its commitment to forums for reflection and debate on the future of cities.

Representing the company, Antonio Gutiérrez Canalejo, Managing Director of Urban Services, took part in a discussion focusing on the challenges faced by local authorities and businesses in adapting urban services to an increasingly dynamic, demanding and sustainability-oriented environment.

During the event, the discussion addressed the paradigm shift currently taking place in the sector, where the evolution of services no longer responds solely to operational criteria, but also to new public expectations in terms of efficiency, transparency and quality.

In this context, Gutiérrez Canalejo highlighted the growing role of artificial intelligence and the intelligent use of data generated by infrastructure, vehicles, containers and service operations as key tools for optimising resources, anticipating needs and facilitating more efficient decision-making.

He also emphasised the importance of moving towards collaborative models based on trust between public authorities and businesses, as well as more flexible contractual frameworks that allow for the incorporation of innovation and adaptability into long-term services.

Through its participation in Future4Cities, Valoriza continues to strengthen its position as a company committed to innovation applied to urban services and to the development of solutions capable of responding to the challenges facing cities today and in the future.
