A digital transformation that serves society

Dezentrum is a think & do tank for digitalisation and society. We do research, awareness-raising, and give impulses for innovation. We work with both the public and the private sector, universities and international alliances.

Always committed to the same goal: To actively shape a digital era that puts society at its heart.

Digital futures of democracy

The future must be actively negotiated and shaped - and in a democratic way. For the Foundation for Technology Assessment, the Dezentrum developed three future scenarios for a digital democracy in the year 2050. In a participatory and interdisciplinary process, three short stories were created, each illustrated by a speculative object.

Think Tank Dezentrum

Dezentrum is dedicated to digital change and its effects on society. New digital technologies are already influencing a large part of the reality of our lives. This profound structural change is perceived by many as a change that precedes society. We want to draw a different picture, one that puts society at the centre.
