BARCELONA — City residents demand smarter innovations when it comes to their government services, but only on the condition their data remains secure and private, according to the global Citizen.e Survey conducted by sentiment research firm sensation.io and SAP SE (NYSE: SAP).

The Citizen.e Survey results will be featured November 13–15 at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.
