In October 2019, the first Bunte Nacht der Digitalisierung [Colorful Night of Digitization] brought together the fields of science, business, culture and administration in Karlsruhe to discuss all aspects of digitization. Before the format returns in 2021, the initiative karlsruhe.digital presents and celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of Karlsruhe's digital innovations.
The »InnovationFestival @karlsruhe.digital« will celebrate the digital inventiveness of Karlsruhe's economy, science, culture and administration live on October 16, 2020 from 2 pm CEST in approximately 10-minute impulse lectures. Companies and institutions will present their latest innovations in the field of digitization to all interested parties and together they will show the diversity of Karlsruhe as a digital location. As part of the initiative, a jury has selected fifteen innovations from the digital sector of the TechnologieRegion, the German Silicon Valley, Karlsruhe to be presented during the festival.
The extent to which guests can participate in the event on site will be decided at short notice according to the current options for face-to-face events.
