The IPMT and the Labour Law Commissions are delighted to welcome you to Berlin for an exciting seminar about start-ups, smart cities and technology.
Berlin is not only the capital city of Germany. With hundreds of new start-ups every year, Berlin is also Germany's capital of start-ups. Berlin is a breeding ground for creative people and with the numerous incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces, it provides a perfect surrounding for entrepreneurs and employees from all over the world.
Berlin is also a test lab for a “Smart City”. The government and start-ups are working closely on solutions and innovations to make the city more efficient, healthier, more sustainable, more livable and work-friendly – simply smarter.
In our seminar, we will cover the different legal aspects of “SmartUp”, such as:
- Smart Mobility
- IP in the smart city
- Digitalized and interconnected city administration
- Industry and Employment 4.0.
- Data Ownership and Control
- 295 days of GDPR
The seminar will be held by highly qualified lawyers and representatives from the start-up and smart city scene.
We cordially invite you to join us in Berlin and look forward to seeing you here!
