Tegel Projekt GmbH presented its data strategy for Berlin TXL at the Smart Country Convention in Berlin today. The aim of the document is to show the way to data excellence for Berlin’s largest urban development project in order to create digital applications based on up-to-date, correct and non-redundant data in the future and also to ensure the highest level of data security and data protection. Berlin TXL, one of the most ambitious smart city projects in Europe, is being built on the site of the former Berlin-Tegel airport. With the help of networked digital infrastructures, the Urban Tech Republic and Schumacher Quartier will enable innovative ways of managing the city, mobility, work and everyday life. The data strategy presented today specifies strategic goals, responsibilities, processes and roles in dealing with data – both at the regulatory level (data governance) and at the execution level (data management) and system level. The overarching goals include the systematic promotion of data-driven innovations, building trust in digital processes and value-creating data monetization. “With the completion of the data strategy, we have reached an important milestone in developing Berlin TXL into an intelligent and comfortable urban district, conserving resources and making urban living and business more sustainable,” says Dr Stefan Höffken, Head of Digitalization at Tegel Projekt GmbH. “After a year of intensive collaboration with our development partners, we were also able to present the FUTR HUB mission statement and initial use cases. We are thus taking important steps towards realizing the great potential in the use of urban data.” The central FUTR HUB platform brings together urban data from Berlin TXL, where it is analyzed and made available for smart applications. Tegel Projekt GmbH works collaboratively with development partners such as utility companies, research and industry partners, organizations from Berlin’s smart city network, local residents, government agencies and civil society actors to develop these applications.
