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.

New

Speculative objects

The future can be shaped: we develop scenarios and speculative objects that make desirable futures visible, discussable and tangible. This gives organisations orientation, new perspectives and concrete options for action in the present.

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.
