A lot will happen in Bamberg in 2025. In addition to remarkable economic development characterized by digitalization and culinary tourism, the city has also made important progress in sustainability. Franconian day reports on the 13 most moving events that shaped the region.

A central point on which everyone's attention is focused is digitalization.

Events such as the Handel.City Future Days impressively demonstrate how technological progress is incidentally reflected in retail. Economic pulse Bavaria emphasizes that culinary tourism is not only a growth engine, but also, together with regional restaurants, creates a real highlight in the city.

Strong industries and sustainable initiatives

This year, the craft sectors, gastronomy and innovative technology companies in particular were able to shape the economic face of Bamberg. Some of the particularly tasty delicacies are offered by Bamberg's breweries and local food producers, which contribute significantly to regional identity and economic stability. Events like the GenussConference 2025 also offer a platform to promote cooperation between gastronomy and tourism.

Speaking of gastronomy: the sustainable use of resources has become more and more important. While specialist conferences on waste management promote the exchange of innovative solutions, the topic of circular economy is also becoming increasingly relevant. The development of creative strategies for resource use and waste avoidance is already being tackled together with the population. This not only promotes local identity, but also the common good.

Tourism as a source of inspiration

What would Bamberg be without its tourism? Tourism not only provides guests with a living space, but also an enriching component for the locals. To ensure a positive guest experience, it is important to actively involve residents and incorporate their needs into the development. STMELF explains that with clever concepts for sustainable tourism development, consideration for natural and living spaces as well as securing regional structures are becoming increasingly important. Accessibility and the preservation of cultural peculiarities make a decisive contribution to the quality of life.

The shortage of skilled workers will be a challenge that companies in Bamberg will have to overcome in the coming years. However, they have a good knack when it comes to developing innovative solutions for attracting and retaining skilled workers. The networking of city and country, as well as improved infrastructure, underline the willingness for positive development and strengthen Bamberg's economic attractiveness.

It remains exciting to see how developments will continue to unfold in 2026. Will the efforts for digitalization, sustainable tourism and economic growth work? The signs are good that Bamberg will remain a place that is very popular with both locals and guests.
