Smart City Expo World Congress, Barcelona

Gippsland has been selected to take part in a European Union research initiative, shining an international spotlight on the region’s energy diversification, tourism and high-quality agriculture.

Gippsland joins Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Greater Hobart and South West Western Australia as participants in the global cooperation on sustainable urban development and regional innovation. 

In November, One Gippsland Chair Cr Nathan Hersey and then-Latrobe City Council Mayor Cr Dale Harriman represented One Gippsland at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 in Barcelona as guests of the IURC. They met up with Professor Duncan Bentley and Professor Carolyn Chong from Federation University, a member of One Gippsland.
