Pooling expertise and shaping change together

Six regions of the state with a total of 18 members are now part of the AI Alliance and are building the infrastructure for these new approaches," explains Michael Kaiser, Chairman of the AI Alliance Baden-Württemberg and Managing Director of the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation.
The pooling of expertise and close cooperation in the regional and supra-regional network will make a significant contribution to the development and application of AI technologies. "Together, we have set ourselves the goal of establishing a networked location in Baden-Württemberg - with accessible infrastructures for AI expertise in order to strengthen our business location."
