Smart City Academy

The Smart City Academy is a joint continuing education initiative that was developed as part of the Smart Cities model projects, in which Fraunhofer IESE is actively involved as a partner. It is aimed at anyone who would like to help shape sustainable, public welfare-oriented urban and regional development. In compact modules, we impart in-depth specialist knowledge, practical methods, and strategic expertise for municipal digitalization. The focus is on skills that are immediately applicable and have a long-term impact.
