AI-Driven Digital Manufacturing: Engaging Citizens in a Successful Collaborative Process
In the heart of Bavaria, the city of Aschaffenburg recently hosted its Participation Festival, showcasing festival foods and festivals near me, as part of the "Kommunal? Digital!" funding program of the Bavarian State Ministry of Digital Affairs. This event served as a tangible representation of the city's vision of becoming a Dialog City, a place where citizens can contribute their ideas for urban development supported by AI.
The Digital Manufacture (dima), a project developed in collaboration with TH Aschaffenburg, was at the forefront of this vision. The festival illustrated that Aschaffenburg is an open, dialogue-oriented city that takes citizen ideas seriously, provides space for creativity, and uses new technologies wisely.
The Digital Manufacture (dima) involves multiple researchers, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and collaborates with networks such as CISPA and the Saarland Informatics Campus.
The Participation Festival, held on July 5th, 20XX during the Aschaffenburg Museum Night, showcased a variety of ideas. From the installation of additional drinking water fountains, such as Ulla Kunkel-Kolb's proposal for the main station, to Stefanie Sachs' creative idea of a marble run in the Schoental, the festival was brimming with innovative and practical suggestions.
The jury did not select a single winning idea but acknowledged several proposals in different categories as noteworthy. The Digital Shop was the venue for the presentation of these notable contributions. Mayor and Digital Officer Eric Leiderer expressed enthusiasm over the positive reception of citizen participation with AI.
A budget of up to 50,000 euros is available for the implementation of the awarded contributions. The awarded contributions demonstrate the creative energy of the city and the opportunities of digital participation.

The Digital Manufacture (dima) will continue to be a place for co-creation after the festival. It is a key component in the creation of Aschaffenburg as a city that grows in dialogue. The Participation Festival was a testament to the power of collaboration and the potential of digital technologies to transform urban spaces.
