First Smart Industrial City Rally: Experience Dormagen data infrastructures up close and win great prizes

On Tuesday, 25 April, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., citizens of Dormagen can find out about the modern data infrastructures that the Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft (SWD) has been building for some time at three different locations in the city area.

The first Smart Industrial City Rally will lead through the city centre. For example, there will be a notice board at the city library on Marktplatz, the former "Ratskeller" on Kölner Straße and the innovation location ChemLab, Unter den Hecken, which will have a so-called NFC tag.

Participants have to scan this "tag" to get further information in the UnserDormagen app and to fill a digital stamp card. Once the stamp card is full, it can be redeemed at the ChemLab, Unter den Hecken 58. The successful "finishers" of the rally will be entered into a draw for seven local value vouchers worth a total of 300 euros. The voucher card can be redeemed at more than 30 suppliers in Dormagen. An overview is provided on the website www.nahwerte.de/dormagen. 

Besides the good feeling that there are more and more innovations and digital formats in Dormagen, the participants will get a look behind the scenes of the "Smart Industrial City". The rally is dedicated to this joint digitisation initiative of the city and industry. It is intended to make the associated measures tangible and their benefits understandable.

"We are currently building modern data infrastructures with the Urban Data Platform, the Digital Twin and a far-reaching radio network to collect important data in the city via sensors. This includes, for example, visitor frequencies, climate data, filling levels of street inlets, car park occupancy and much more. Since these are very technical and complex topics, we want to bring them to the citizens in a playful way," reports André Heryschek, Head of Structural Change and Smart City at SWD.

The UnserDormagen app can be found in the App Store or via the forwarding function of the website unserdormagen.de.
