Digdeep Podcast: Reinvention in Structural Change – How Schwedt Goes Digital
News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn
In the new episode of #digdeep, the podcast reports about circular economy at Schwedt and a startup-lab with Sascha Lademann.
Schwedt, a town in the Uckermark region, is facing the challenge of structural change, as its traditional industries, particularly oil refineries, are no longer viable. The region is seeking new ways to shape its economic future, relying on the principles of the circular economy to close material cycles. Furthermore, the energy supply is being optimized through innovative concepts such as Power2X, which intelligently connect producers and consumers.
To support the transition to a climate-neutral economy, renewable energies and new infrastructure projects are being promoted, supported by extensive funding programs from the federal, state, and EU governments. Digitalization plays a crucial role in this transformation process, which is why a startup lab was established to make the necessary data and processes transparent.
So, Schwedt should be everywhere!
Just listen in (podcast in German).
