Continued urbanisation and a steady growth in population, combined with the looming climate crisis that is making more and more regions worldwide uninhabitable, highlight the urgent need for sustainable, intelligent and inclusive urban planning. To ensure quality of life in metropolitan areas for future generations, it is vital to overcome environmental, social and economic challenges.

Against this background, the 2025 AGYLE programme revolves around innovative business solutions for sustainable urban development in the areas of mobility, architecture, energy supply, waste management, and digitisation.

In this context, they are addressing key questions such as the following: How can businesses contribute to green urban development and green growth? And how can cooperation between African and German companies be strengthened with a view to promoting sustainable urban development?
