At the same time, a digital GP assistant, an automated flying drone to support the fire department, and the development of dynamic electricity prices are being introduced. Parliamentary State Secretary from the BMDS, Thomas Jarzombek, and CDU Secretary General Carsten Linnemann are enthusiastic following their visit to Etteln.

Etteln is now the most digital village in Germany and won the global IEEE Smart City Contest ahead of Hong Kong at the end of 2024. The world’s largest professional association has thus confirmed that Etteln is at the cutting edge of digitalisation worldwide. Digitalisation in Etteln is based on FIWARE technology (the FIWARE Data Space Connector), which is now the world’s leading, license-free (open-source) platform technology for the digitalisation of cities and municipalities, and is used by more than 500 cities worldwide. Over the years, a vibrant community has developed around FIWARE, supported by the FIWARE Foundation.

On 22 July 2025, Etteln announced that it would take the next step and implement the first data space in the municipal sector in Germany. A municipal data space can enable a municipality to link mobility data, environmental sensor data, energy consumption data, or citizen feedback from various (including external) sources to generate intelligent services (e.g., energy management, noise reduction, citizen participation, etc.) while maintaining data sovereignty and based on interoperable, secure structures.
