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.

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.
