About the Organisation
InfraLab Berlin brings together the six central infrastructure companies of Berlin: BEW Berliner Energie und Wärme, BSR, BVG, Berliner Wasserbetriebe, GASAG-Gruppe and Stromnetz Berlin. The text describes it as a network that develops ideas, projects and solutions for a sustainable, resilient and future-proof city. It is based at the EUREF-Campus, which the text calls one of the leading innovation sites for energy, mobility and sustainable urban development in Germany.
Core Activities
The organisation describes six roles it plays:
- Networking Berlin's infrastructure actors
- Partnering on future topics
- A workshop for developing ideas into concrete solutions
- A discussion forum
- A platform for cooperation across boundaries
- Setting impulses for the city of tomorrow
Focus Areas
The site lists three thematic fields: Digitalisierung (smart technologies, data and networking), Klimaschutz (sustainable solutions for a climate-neutral city) and Infrastruktur (efficient and resilient systems).
Member Perspectives
Member executives quoted on the site describe the platform as a place where cooperation brings together infrastructure companies, science and industry. BEW's chief executive states that the heat transition succeeds only when infrastructure companies pool their competences. Stromnetz Berlin's chief executive says the group works on energy and mobility solutions focused on Berlin's climate neutrality, with cross-sector synergies and digitalisation. The text states the InfraLab has existed for ten years.
Real-World Testing
According to the text, impulses can be developed and tested directly within the real urban structure. The EUREF-Campus is described as a Reallabor, where ideas are tested directly. The site states that more than 170 organisations are located on the campus.
Current Activity
The site lists recent news items: the InfraLab's presence at the Smart Country Convention 2026 (26.10.2026), a new station for the GASAG-Gruppe extending the Grüne Route (21.10.2026), and the LoRaWAN-Tag in the InfraLab (30.09.2026). It also offers a newsletter for updates on projects and events.
Why It Matters for Urban Policy
In its own terms, InfraLab Berlin aims to shape the digital, resilient and climate-neutral city of tomorrow together. It addresses Berlin's infrastructure operators, science, industry, public actors and start-ups, and the citizens of Berlin, whom the members say benefit from the cooperation.
