City & Bits is a consulting firm specializing in sustainable digitalization strategies for German municipalities and regions.1 Operating for over 20 years, the company combines extensive municipal experience with digital expertise to support local government actors in politics and administration.1
The organization's core mission centers on transforming urban living spaces into sustainable futures by examining multiple perspectives and developing tailored digital solutions.2 Rather than limiting sustainable urban development to ecological considerations alone, City & Bits integrates technological innovation with comprehensive Smart City strategies and sustainable business models.3
The company functions as an independent technology consulting firm, prioritizing long-term solutions that can be implemented on schedule and within budget constraints. A significant portion of its work involves supporting German federal model project municipalities (BMI Modellprojektkommunen) in their Smart City initiatives, where City & Bits conceptualizes, plans, and manages both short-term and long-term measures.
City & Bits' service portfolio encompasses technology consulting, sustainable digitalization strategy development, and funding management support for municipalities and regions.1 The firm's approach emphasizes translating digital progress into municipal action, working directly with local decision-makers to understand their specific requirements.1
The organization maintains an active presence in the municipal digital transformation space, recently launching a newsletter to share insights on e-government and digital sovereignty topics.
