Bundesverband Smart City e.V.

Welcome to the non-profit Federal Association Smart City e.V. (BVSC), the holistic, interdisciplinary research platform for the intelligent city of the future, known as Smart City, which is characterized in particular by the merging of supply networks (energy, communication, mobility, transport, etc.) in an intelligent and highly networked infrastructure.

The main content focuses of the BVSC include, among other things, rational resource generation and distribution, with a particular emphasis on environmentally friendly, sustainable and regenerative energy generation, storage, distribution and use, new mobility concepts, innovative health prevention and care, as well as intelligent living, life and work in an aging society (demographic change).

Data protection and security as well as consideration of privacy and personal rights also play an important role.

Of crucial importance is the involvement of all social groups – organized civil society, politics, research institutions, industry and, above all, the residents of the Smart City or Smart Region – in this research and development process.
