On September 26, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., we are celebrating a premiere in the auditorium of the Munich Urban Colab: We invite you to the first event in our series “MEET THE CITY – Teams & innovative projects of the state capital of Munich.”
The Munich Urban Colab is a joint initiative of UnternehmerTUM and the City of Munich. Our goal: to create solutions for our livable city of the future in collaboration with established companies, startups, academia, talented individuals, creatives, and the urban community.
With this in mind, we aim to provide regular insights into our work and present our projects with the "MEET THE CITY" event series. Depending on the topic, our participants include employees from the Munich city administration, municipal companies, and investment companies. We provide insight into our working environments while simultaneously seeking dialogue with the Colab community, interested citizens, and anyone else interested in solutions for a livable city of the future. We look forward to exciting questions and fruitful discussions during the subsequent networking.
"MEET THE CITY" is organized by the City of Munich's Referat für Arbeit und Wirtschaft. The content draws from the entire city family.
The first “MEET THE CITY” is being jointly organized by employees of the InnovationLab of it@M, the Department of Labor and Economic Development, and the MVG Mobility Lab in the Munich Urban Colab.

The Innovation Lab's studies are guided by an innovation cycle that utilizes the agile method of design thinking. In their presentation, Fabian Kors and Andrea Stockinger will first provide a brief introduction to design thinking and then offer insights into current areas of application in city administration.
They will also explain which projects this method is suitable for and what challenges they encounter in city administration and how they solve them.
