Ingo Hinterding

I’m Ingo Hinterding, a Creative Technologist and enthusiastic maker. Over the years, I’ve co-founded a handful of startups, and I’m now leading the prototyping team at CityLAB, Berlin’s public innovation lab. In my work, I focus on using technology and design to explore new possibilities in the public sector, and I’m often invited to speak on software prototyping and AI. I'm very honored to be named a Rising Star on the 2025 Government AI 100 list.

I was onducting a workshop at re:publica 22 on senseable cities using our experimental Stadtpuls platform. Additionally, I presented a talk with Tori Boeck at FOSS Backstage about creating an open-source hub for city government, titled git init Berlin.
