Goals and vision
Innovative,

liveable
The state capital Dresden is developing and testing cross-sector digital strategies for living and working in a city of the future as part of its Smart-City measures. Digitalization will continue to change many areas of administration, the economy and urban society. In a Smart City "smart city", municipal infrastructures such as energy, buildings, transport, water and wastewater are interconnected with the help of information and communication technologies.
At Smart City Dresden, the opportunities offered by information and networking technologies are used in the interests of sustainable, integrated urban development geared towards the common good. The resulting smartapplications and concepts make a decisive contribution to strengthening Dresden as a liveable, resource-creating and sustainable city and to creating a higher quality of life.
Dresden's knowledge and business landscape is an essential component in supporting our cities in overcoming the challenges of climate change, energy and mobility transition in the future. This makes Dresden an extremely innovative and high-performing business location that continues to produce young companies with pioneering products and services. The technical excellence available at Dresden can make a greater contribution to substantially increasing the quality of life and opportunities for participation and co-determination for everyone.
