Cities must change radically if they are to meet the challenges of this age. And it has to happen fast. To bring the necessary speed to the streets, we need a joint exchange of the most creative minds across industries and disciplines.

MUNICH NEXT LEVEL is the platform for city pioneers and the new Munich network for experts and city makers from culture, politics, administration, business, science and civil society who want to inspire, make and network.

From September 2022 to February 2023, everything revolves around the central question "How to succeed in the sustainable redevelopment of the Bahnhofsviertel in Munich - a model for inner-city neighborhood development in Europe?" in order to obtain the most concrete and feasible solutions possible for a sustainable neighborhood. The topics are: TRADE IN CHANGE, MOBILITY CHANGE, NEW LIVING AND WORKING, CLIMATE PROTECTION AND ENERGY CHANGE as well as FREE SPACE AND PUBLIC SPACE.

The topic of TRADE IN CHANGE will kick off with a presentation by fortiss scientist Norman Schaffer on the Knowledge4Retail research project, which aims to revolutionize brick-and-mortar retail using artificial intelligence.
