AppliedAI is joining forces with other initiatives to promote artificial intelligence: Together with AI.Hamburg, the Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg, Fraunhofer IIS/EAS, the Smart Systems Hub in Dresden, and KI.NRW/Fraunhofer IAIS in Sankt Augustin near Bonn, the Garching-based initiative is founding AI4Germany. The organization aims to support companies throughout Germany in the application of artificial intelligence. The six partners are supported by their respective state governments.
AppliedAI, part of the incubator UnternehmerTUM, will coordinate AI4Germany. The goal is to support local businesses in the application of AI—and thus prepare Germany for the challenges of digitalization.
“The partners of AI4Germany are united by a common system of values”
The experts in the partner organizations will work together to develop workshops, training courses, and practical examples. This will allow the individual initiatives to share their experiences, leverage synergies, and ensure quality.
“Thanks to AI4Germany, the partners can better and faster support local companies in their regions in the application of AI,”
says Ingo Hoffmann, Head of AI Ecosystem at AppliedAI.
"By regionally distributing our partners, we have created a network that guarantees companies—regardless of where they are located—proximity to one of the six network partners. Together, we can reach more companies and thus strengthen Germany's role as an important high-tech location."
AppliedAI Managing Director Andreas Liebl says:
"The partners of AI4Germany are united by a common system of values and the overarching goal of advancing the qualification of employees, management, and the public, as well as the exchange in the field of AI, and thus promoting the transfer of knowledge among all participants."
By pooling the strengths of all partners, Germany should not fall further behind the superpowers USA and China in AI matters.
