Smart City #25: Schools as Smart City Innovation Hubs: The Case of Pforzheim?

In our latest Smart City series, Nina Mülhens, co-founder and CEO of DigitalSchoolStory, describes how schools are becoming local innovation hubs and shaping the future using real-world city data.

Using the Smart City #25 DigitalSchoolStory project in Pforzheim as an example, the article demonstrates how schools can become innovation hubs for local communities. Students work with real-world data on climate, mobility, and the environment, analyze it, and develop their own perspectives for their city. The approach combines digital education, social responsibility, and workforce development, and demonstrates how municipalities can involve young people early on as co-creators of the city of tomorrow.

Join the discussion on April 21, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there!

“Smart Cities in Germany 2022 – Technologies, Use Cases and Participation”

The aim of the study is to show, on the basis of a survey with 115 experts from 107 cities, where German cities of all sizes stand with regard to their smart city visions, what is important to them and how they are using technologies, in particular low power wide area networks, to get closer to their visions.

We will begin with an impulse in which Prof. Dr. Joachim Henkel from the Technical University of Munich and his team will present the starting point, results and recommendations for action of the study and then enter into an in-depth discussion together with you.
