Phase 2 of the model project Smart City Dresden (MPSC) officially began on July 1, 2023. On June 27, a kick-off event in the plenary hall of Dresden City Hall duly heralded the start of the implementation phase.
The participants included heads of office, department heads, heads of specific measures, members of the current and future steering group, the project team from the IT services company and the project team from the Technical University Dresden (TUD). At the kick-off, all those involved in the project were brought up to date before the hot phase begins. Jan Donhauser, representing the Head of the Business, Digital, Human Resources and Security Division, welcomed all those present with a motivating speech.
The event looked back on the previous strategy phase, which began on January 1, 2022 and ended on June 30. During these 1.5 years, the focus was on developing the Dresden Smart-City strategy.
