Representatives from the energy-independent village of Feldheim in Brandenburg and from the award-winning Smart Village Etteln in North Rhine-Westphalia will demonstrate how projects in the areas of renewable energies and digitalization can provide concrete impetus for municipal development, location attractiveness, and local value creation.
