City festival “Bunte Nacht der Digitalisierung” 2022
Review of the city festival
“Bunte Nacht der Digitalisierung” on 01 July 2022
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?
Joint opening
The city festival “Bunte Nacht der Digitalisierung” started at 2 p.m. with a central opening event in the town hall at Marktplatz with a welcoming address by Stefan Krebs, the state government’s representative for information technology and CIO and CDO of the state of Baden-Württemberg, and a talk format on the digital location from the perspectives of science, business and administration with the three chairmen of the karlsruhe.digital initiative.
Decentralized program
From 3 p.m., around 80 partners of the citiy festival “Bunte Nacht der Digitalisierung” presented their digitalization highlights at various hotspots throughout the city. Whether lectures for interested professionals, hands-on workshops for citizens, a summer party for employees and their families and friends – each partner designed its own program. The unique ecosystem of the digital location Karlsruhe was made visible and tangible in over 280 events.
Joint closing
After an exciting day spent exploring the city and visiting the exhibitions, which were open until 11pm, visitors and partners enjoyed the end of the night at the ZKM. Refreshing drinks and inspiring discussions will complete the new impressions. Dancing to the beats of AI researcher and musician MODISCH was a great opportunity to enjoy the perfect combination of art and digitalization. Visitors and guests once again benefited from free admission to all events.
