Dezentrum is a think & do tank for digitalisation and society. We do research, awareness-raising, and give impulses for innovation. We work with both the public and the private sector, universities and international alliances.

Always committed to the same goal: To actively shape a digital era that puts society at its heart.

Think Tank Dezentrum

Dezentrum is dedicated to digital change and its effects on society. New digital technologies are already influencing a large part of the reality of our lives. This profound structural change is perceived by many as a change that precedes society. We want to draw a different picture, one that puts society at the centre.
