Smart City Funding in Germany – what´s at stake?
In 2019, 2020, and 2021, 73 pilot projects were selected for funding from the German Smart Cities program, encompassing small towns to large cities. A key requirement for receiving up to 15 million euros was the implementation of digital solutions to promote sustainable urban development. These digital solutions had to be open source, scalable, and transferable, ensuring that outcomes would enhance dissemination and scaling throughout Germany and Europe. As most selected projects are still in the implementation phase, this session presents the first prototypical solutions and achievements of the national program. Additionally, within the “Smarte.Land.Regionen” initiative, an online marketplace has been established to offer solutions for digital public services.
