In this module, participants first gain an understanding of what a smart city means in small and medium-sized cities. Building on this, the participants develop a locally adapted smart city strategy that takes the individual context into account. Another important component is the identification of key fields of action - from mobility and administration to climate and other areas.
The focus here is on initiating digitalization in the administration in a targeted manner and prioritizing it in a meaningful way. Participants learn about practical approaches to e-government solutions and are given tools to actively involve employees and citizens in the process.
This module is dedicated to smart solutions for energy, mobility and climate change adaptation - particularly with regard to the special challenges in rural areas. It also presents available funding opportunities and impact tools that can be used to evaluate projects and make their benefits visible.
Finally, the aim is to actively involve citizens, associations and companies and to understand innovation as a joint task. At the same time, participants learn how to strategically use networks and collaborations to implement projects sustainably and successfully.
This course aims to strengthen innovation capacities in small and medium-sized cities in Baden-Württemberg. Those responsible from administration, local business and civil society are empowered to actively take responsibility for their innovation ecosystem and make their city fit for the future.

We had the pleasure of having the BABLE training for our MedCities community and further mentoring services. Throughout our entire experience working with them, they were very professional and delivered an extremely high quality of work. For instance — their vast international Use Case database and knowledge, their attentive and regular follow-ups as well as their technical advice.
A great partner to work with!
This was a highly impactful training for our work. BABLE tailored the modules and focus of the training to address key challenges we face with our stakeholders in implementing regional policy.
