AI inspiration and discovery formats

Access to laboratories and demonstration systems, short presentations, best practices and hands-on AI applications for a practical introduction to artificial intelligence

These formats offer an accessible introduction to the latest developments in artificial intelligence and digitalisation. The focus is on trying out, understanding, contextualising and experiencing AI through concise knowledge sessions, real-world application examples and interactive insights into innovative technologies.

The programme combines short sessions with practical insights, as well as inspirational events and technology tours. The “AI Insights” webinar series uses concise online sessions to cover current trends, specific AI use cases in a business context, and key topics such as generative AI, AI governance, data strategies and regulatory developments such as the EU AI Act. These sessions provide a structured overview and help participants to contextualise developments and identify initial opportunities for application within their own organisations.

Another format is the “InfoMarkt”, which combines brief presentations by experts on key AI and digitalisation topics with open discussion and networking. The focus is on accessible specialist insights, practical examples and the opportunity to engage directly with other participants and speakers.

In addition, inspirational events, interactive sessions and technology tours provide direct insights into real-world applications, demonstrators and research environments. This brings AI solutions to life and complements them with best practices from industry and research.

The aim is to provide guidance, break down barriers and build a fundamental understanding of the opportunities and potential applications of AI. At the same time, the formats encourage dialogue with experts, companies and the innovation ecosystem, thereby supporting initial ideas tailored to participants’ own organisational contexts. All upcoming events can be found in our events calendar.
