Aftermovie
Around 80 partners from science, business, administration and culture made digitization in Karlsruhe visible and tangible for everyone on 1 July 2022 with over 280 program items!
We want to bring all facets of digitalization to life in a city festival of digital ideas and solutions. On which digital topics are Karlsruhe universities and research institutions actively researching? What constitutes digital art? How digital are the administration and cultural institutions? What ideas are Karlsruhe start-ups and companies pursuing? And how can you experiment within NGOs with digital tools or get involved in those organisations?
