Building the Bridge …
to Bielefeld’s Open Innovation.
Open Innovation City is a completely new initiative. All areas of a city work together to shape its future: Politics and administration, industry and start-ups, education and research, art and culture as well as citizen engagement – open, transparent and collaborative. Open Innovation City is based on the assumption that innovations can come about not only in the economy, but everywhere and through all areas of a company. When innovative ideas and motivated stakeholders come together, it is possible to do things that would never usually happen in a city. Bielefeld wants to be a pioneer as the first Open Innovation City.
With a future-oriented culture of openness, international innovation and exchange formats – that’s how Bielefield will become a dynamic city of innovation!
The Innovation Office will be the launching pad for innovative initiatives in the city of Bielefeld. Here, future-oriented ideas are developed and tested out – practical and uncomplicated.
Bielefeld is building up international partnerships with cities and regions. With these partnerships, we create joint networks to design sustainable cities and strengthen innovation forces for the long term.
