People in motion - transfer space future

What will life in the Ingolstadt region look like in the future? Which developments and trends in business, technology and society will characterise the coming years, and which of these will be decisive for the region's future? These questions not only concern politics and business, but also the region's universities. By developing joint scenarios, possible visions of the future are made tangible and the potential for change becomes visible. For regional companies, this approach offers targeted support in the planning and implementation of innovation and transformation processes.

Interdisciplinary dialogues, extraordinary events and innovative ideas for sustainable regional development - the Mensch in Bewegung knowledge transfer project creates a platform for shaping the transformation towards sustainable futures. The Bavarian Foresight Institute is responsible for developing formats for the Transferraum Zukunft. Other central fields of action of the project are AI & digitalisation and sustainability.

Mensch in Bewegung is a joint project of the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) and the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU) and is funded by the "Innovative University" initiative, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Joint Science Conference GWK.
