Berlin is an urban laboratory: here smart people are working on future concepts for an intelligent urban society. Discover „Zukunftsorte“, Berlin projects, walk-in Smart City locations and technology centers.
Berlin has established top-level research at several universities and numerous non-university institutions. This diversity of the research spectrum and the large number of smart minds enable trend-setting research tasks, but above all, future-proof solutions.
A liveable, sustainable and innovative smart city needs strong and engaged stakeholders. Berlin provides the best platform for this and has a wide-ranging network of business and science to carry out the necessary transformation in response to the climate and energy crisis.
Berlin is Garmanys founder capital. Berlin attracts talent. Not only from the creative industry but also from all startups with a focus on digital business models. In Berlin, creative people and innovators meet. Berlin is breeding ground for those who want to change the world.
Concrete examples of current developments can be seen in the further development of the Zukunftsorte, the implementation of the Berliner Energie concept, the Smart City projects from the strategy dialogue, such as the Smart Business District, and last but not least in our Advisory Center Open Data for the Administration (ODIS).
Berlin is growing rapidly. Altogether, the city of Berlin forecasts a total of 250,000 more people by the year 2030, who come to Berlin. To keep the city worth living in and to make it even more liveable, smart minds at the future locations are developing and testing new urban solutions for a modern, energy and resource-efficient life in international cities.
Berlin is developing, founding, testing and applying. Especially in the field of electromobility. Startups and established companies are developing smart eMobility concepts for future mobility. They can already be found everywhere on Berlin's streets: whether as an eBike, electronic car, scooter or bus.
The change of the drive is long overdue. Battery electric cars for mass transit, fuel cell for heavy traffic and long journeys - that's been ready for series production for a long time.
Berlin is green, Berlin is beautiful, Berlin is fun - that's what makes up the German capital and attracts millions of visitors every year to the metropolis. A total of 30 percent of the total area of Berlin consists of parks, forests, lakes and waterways that need to be explored, cultivated and expanded.
On the way to becoming a climate-neutral city, Berlin can already present solutions for the various challenges of the energy transition - from the integration of renewable energies from the surrounding countryside to electromobility and tenant electricity - for major cities throughout Germany and around the world.
