Metropolitan Congress: Future? Right on Our Doorstep!
Just a few days later, it went into the Reutlingen City Halldirectly on to the big questions of tomorrow.
At the4th Metropolitan Congress of the European Metropolitan Region StuttgartAround 300 people from business, science, politics, and administration came together. Under the motto "Shaping Change," AI, new technologies, and the economic future of our region were the focus.
How close this future already is was demonstrated, among other things, byNEURA Robotics from neighboring MetzingenThe company develops intelligent robots that perceive their environment, interact with people, and independently take on tasks. What sounds like science fiction is practically being created just around the corner!
And that was exactly what the congress was about: not just observing changes, but shaping them together.
Big ideas. Short distances. Plenty of future.
Two events, one clear message: Reutlingen and the region are full of future potential!
Here, established know-how meets fresh ideas, research meets entrepreneurial spirit, and innovative strength meets quality of life. The best conditions to develop something new and make a difference together.
Our task as city marketing? To make exactly that visible! To put the companies and people behind the ideas in the spotlight, strengthen networks, and show what makes Reutlingen so special as a business, work, and living location.
Because strong economic locations do not think in terms of city limits, but in terms of opportunities.
And Reutlingen? It has plenty to offer. Here, the future is not only envisioned. Here, it is made!
