Event Details
Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries at an incredible pace – offering vast opportunities, but also requiring companies to rethink how they work, make decisions, and enable innovation.
To help our members navigate this transformation, the German Chamber is launching a new AI Alliance. This first session will bring together member companies and experts to exchange practical experiences and discuss both the technical and organizational aspects of AI adoption. Active participation and sharing among members are highly encouraged.
The event will feature two keynote presentations setting the scene from both a technological and organizational perspective, followed by a short presentation of survey results among registered participants and an interactive roundtable discussion.
This event aims to foster a practical and member-driven exchange – learning from real-world examples, discussing challenges, and building a community of practitioners shaping the future of AI in their organizations.
