Digital Week Dortmund 2025
Innovation from the Neighborhood
Why look far afield when the best is right around the corner – like digitalization and innovation? Everyone needs something different, but in the end, it all comes down to the same essentials: creative minds at eye level, competence, and efficiency.
The solution for all companies seeking inspiration and connections within the digital economy is literally right on their doorstep: the Digital Week Dortmund, or #diwodo, takes place from September 1–6, 2025.
This is where people connect, where understanding and partnerships emerge, and where the perfect match is made – between digital know-how and those actively seeking it. #diwodo openly and freely brings all those interested in digital topics to the right event hosted by the right provider.
More than 100 companies and institutions from the region present and represent their digital solutions throughout the city of Dortmund – from A for Augmented Reality to Z for Future Technologies. Anyone looking for a competent IT partner nearby will find the right connection here. There’s no easier way for curious minds and digital providers to meet.
Across numerous diverse locations in Dortmund, the full spectrum of digitalization and innovation is on display.
#diwodo sends a clear message: Dortmund is one of Germany’s leading IT hotspots. And it's also Europe’s Capital of Innovation – the first German city ever to hold the title. With a program covering every aspect of the digital world, the 9th edition of the successful #diwodo format, themed “Innovation from the Neighborhood,” proves that digitalization has never been closer or more accessible.
All events are part of the official Digital Week Dortmund program. Organizers based in Dortmund can list their events free of charge and have complete freedom in designing their independently run sessions. This means attendees can look forward to a diverse and dynamic program.
