Die Schwerpunktthemen der St\u00e4dtepartnerschaft sind die Bereiche Kultur, Wirtschaft, Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation mit Fokus auf das Oberthema \u201eSmart City\u201c. Dar\u00fcber hinaus liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf dem Austausch im Bereich Jugend und Sport. <\/br> <\/br>\n\nAuch die Weiterentwicklung von Initiativen wie den Heidelberg-Palo Alto Club tragen f\u00fcr ein lebendiges Miteinander, den gegenseitigen Austausch und gemeinsame Aktivit\u00e4ten bei.
