Welcome to the AI Challenge 2025 in the Stuttgart Region!

Shape the future with us: The AI Challenge of the Baden-Württemberg AI Alliance

With the AI Challenge, the Baden-Württemberg AI Alliance is bringing together municipalities, companies and AI solution providers in six regions to jointly develop forward-looking solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI). In the Stuttgart region, the focus is on the topic of "Green AI - living with climate change".

The AI Challenge is a practice-oriented program that aims to systematically and sustainably integrate AI methods into the product and service development of businesses and public administrations. The aim is to jointly develop AI solutions on various focus topics that strengthen the region and make sustainable success measurable.

In an interactive workshop, we work on solutions for specific challenges (use cases). To this end, we bring together AI experts, solution seekers, data providers and AI solution providers in our workshop with four focus topics. Together, we develop tailor-made approaches based on state-of-the-art AI methods and the proven PAISE® process model - and report on them.

With the AI Challenge, we are also promoting the development of a lively AI community in our region and creating space for networking and innovation. Join us and take part in the kick-off event of the AI Challenge in the Stuttgart region! 

Become part of the AI Challenge and the AI Alliance community - we look forward to exchanging ideas with you and working with you to develop solutions that will strengthen our region in the long term!

Join us and take part in our kick-off event and/or workshop and share the 2025 call for the AI Challenge in the Stuttgart Region in your network! AI Challenge accepted? 

Registration deadline: May 30, 2025 | Kick-off event: July 7, 2025 | Workshop: July 8, 2025 (both in Stuttgart) | Participation free of charge | No AI knowledge required

What is the AI Challenge?

The AI Challenge aims to systematically and sustainably introduce AI methods into the product and service development of businesses and public authorities and to support the development of a vibrant AI community in the regions. In a workshop day led by our experts, we want to work on specific use cases on site and report on them afterwards. The workshop will be preceded by a kick-off event. Find out more about the exact procedure of the AI Challenge here.

The AI Challenge is a sub-project of the Baden-Württemberg AI Alliance, which is intended to serve as an innovation network for AI and already links six regions in Baden-Württemberg. Each region will offer an AI Challenge on a focus topic in 2025. The sub-project is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Tourism. Find out more about the AI Challenge format of the AI Alliance in six regions here: KI-Challenge - KI-Allianz Baden-Württemberg.

Become part of the AI community! Take the opportunity to systematically develop your projects, network with other players and create innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Together we will strengthen AI expertise in Baden-Württemberg and promote regional networking. Let's develop innovative solutions for a sustainable future together!

The AI Challenge 2025 in the Stuttgart region is dedicated to the topic of "Green AI - Living in a changing climate". The focus is on the question of how AI can help to implement climate protection measures in a more targeted manner, evaluate their effectiveness and support cities, municipalities and companies in achieving their sustainability goals.

  • How can we better predict and evaluate the effectiveness of climate protection and adaptation measures with the help of AI?
  • How can AI be used to help cities, municipalities and companies achieve their sustainability goals?
  • How can we use AI methods to measure the success of measures for "living in climate change" (e.g. setting up "cool places" during hot spells) more precisely and control them in a targeted manner?
  • How can we use AI to increase resilience to extraordinary events (including extreme weather or natural disasters)?

With the AI Challenge, we want to develop practical solutions and make innovative AI technologies usable for a future worth living. Find out more and sign up! Be part of it!

The AI Challenge is aimed at public administration, companies and AI solution providers who want to use AI specifically for climate adaptation and sustainability measures.
