MCube Consulting wins the Innovation Award of the City of Munich - fur consulting arm MCube Consulting was awarded the Innovation Prize 2025 for an intelligent, geodata-based solution for digitizing the event process.
On 24.07.2025 at the Munich Urban Colab, we received the award from the second mayor Dominik KrauseDistrict Administrative Officer Dr. Hanna Sammüller and economic advisor Dr. Christian Scharpf a strong signal for applied research and innovation in and for Munich.
The challenge:
Around 9,000 events per year are applied for in Munich - so far via a time-consuming, often analog process with a high communication effort and potential for error. Short: A digital, structured solution is needed.
Our answer:
An end-to-end digital application process - intuitive, efficient and secure. But the real innovative leap lies in the Geodata analysis frameworkOrganizers outline their plans directly on the city map. This information is analyzed automatically - for a proactive review by the authorities.
Among other things, the following are checked:
This intelligent evaluation provides the police and fire department with a sound, reliable basis for decision-making - with less coordination effort and more transparency.
Research that works:
The solution is based on the MCube innovation project DatSim and shows impressively: How cutting-edge research in the MCube future cluster is turning into concrete applications with added value for society.
What's next?
From fall 2025, MCube Consulting will start the Co-CreationRefers to a joint development process in which various stakeholders - such as users, experts or citizens - actively participate in the design of ideas, products or solutions. with the KVR and the Munich Fire Department: developing, testing and implementing prototypes - together, practically and with a view to everyday urban life.
Our thanks:
Congratulations also to all the other award winners - what potential for innovation in this city!
And a huge thank you to our great team around Fabian Schumann, Felix Waldner and all those who made this project possible - especially Frieke Meijer-Schepman and team.
The lessons learned from the first MCube funding phase show which factors really drive projects forward - and where typical barriers arise.
Creating transparency, proving impact, sharpening strategies - the new indicator guide supports precisely this.
For the first time in this format, students made their way to three European cities. They went to Stockholm, Tallinn/Helsinki and Barcelona.
This time, mobility in the cities of Ljubljana, Genoa and Utrecht was examined.
How can mobility data and simulations make cities more liveable - and change visible and tangible?
What do Brussels, Lisbon, Milan and Paris have in common?
Where to put cars, bicycles and e-scooters - and how do we organize parking space fairly, efficiently and sustainably?

What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
