Description
Life is becoming greener, more efficient and based on a bigger network of resources. Whether it's 5G-based driverless public transport, traffic and human flow management in metropolitan areas, modern neighbourhood design or the simplification of municipal services with the help of digital platforms, our living and working spaces are at the beginning of a far-reaching change.
In addition, many municipalities, associations, NPO/NGO and public-private partnerships are looking for pioneers to lead the holistic development of smart cities and regions all over the world. There is a particularly high demand for the development of market-oriented solutions in future technologies - specifically those that improve the living conditions of the inhabitants in consultancies as well as in corporate and medium-sized companies.
