For NYU Community

To inspire the next generation of students, the German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. in New York (GACCNY) is organizing the Innovation Seminars Event Series at select New York area universities this December.

A select group of leading German companies from the field of Smart Cities will present their latest innovative products and reference projects which incorporate energy efficiency solutions. This serves not only as a great way for students to connect their classroom studies to real-world products and services but also as a unique networking opportunity for them.
