AI-Generated Summary
EUREF-Campus is a pioneering smart energy and sustainable urban development campus in Berlin's Schöneberg district, centred around the historic Gasometer building. The 5.5-hectare site has been transformed from a former gasworks into a model quarter that has already achieved the German government's 2045 climate targets, operating as a real-world demonstration of climate-neutral urban districts.
The campus hosts approximately 150 companies, research institutions, and startups employing around 3,500 people, with a strong focus on energy transition, sustainable mobility, smart infrastructure, and circular economy. Notable tenants include the Deutsche Bahn digital rail laboratory, Schneider Electric's innovation hub, InnoZ (Innovation Centre for Mobility and Societal Change), and numerous cleantech startups.
EUREF-Campus functions as a living laboratory for smart city technologies. Its own energy infrastructure includes a smart micro-grid, solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and an intelligent building management system that optimises energy consumption across the campus. This infrastructure serves both as a practical demonstration and a testbed for new energy technologies.
The campus also hosts academic institutions including the TU Berlin's campus for energy, mobility, and sustainability programmes, and the EUREF Master's programme in Energy Management, which trains the next generation of professionals for the energy transition.
The EUREF-Energiewerkstatt, operated by GASAG Solution Plus, provides hands-on experience with sustainable energy systems. The campus regularly hosts conferences, exhibitions, and networking events that bring together the energy, mobility, and smart city communities.
EUREF-Campus has become a model for climate-neutral urban quarters internationally, demonstrating that ambitious sustainability targets can be achieved in existing urban fabric through intelligent integration of renewable energy, smart building technology, and sustainable mobility solutions.
