Office for Smart Cities and Smart Regions

Since July 2020, WIK-Consult runs the office of Stadt.Land.Digital, an initiative by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy to promote digital solutions for local municipalities, enterprises, civic organisations, and citizens. The initiative supports German municipalities on their way to become smart cities or smart regions by providing information and hosting events in all parts of Germany. For this project, WIK-Consult cooperates with TÜV Rheinland Consulting.

The initiative’s office creates and maintains content for the official website of the initiative Stadt.Land.Digital (in German language only). This includes researching and evaluating relevant events, studies, guidelines, strategies, best practices, and information about public funding.

Our team at Stadt.Land.Digital creates and maintains the contents of the Smart City Navigator, an online resource designed to help local municipalities and enterprises benefit from experience made with digitising local administrative, corporate, and civic processes in other parts of Germany. It offers information and personal contacts to a diverse set of benchmark projects in different economic sectors (in German language only). Our team introduces this online tool in a brief video.
