Background

It’s like a hackathon with NBA all star players of the Munich startup eco-system. All participants have been selected because they have previously been educated in entrepreneurship and built startup MVPs themselves. The Pool is a pressure cooking event with participants needing to find a team, ideating and validating a business idea, and building a prototype - on their own. Of course, we help with whatever you need if you ask for it. But it is up to you how far you can take it.

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important cornerstones of digitalization as a key technology. Due to the emergence of generative AI solutions such as ChatGPT, Google Bard and DALL-E, the topic has noticeably broadened its potential. The possible applications in a wide variety of industries and business areas are diverse. The benefits for companies should not be neglected, however, as AI can be used to save resources, increase efficiencies and develop entirely new business models.

To make AI more tangible for businesses, the annual conference “AI for SMEs” will take place on October 26, 2023. Join us and receive numerous impulses through expert presentations and best practices. Look forward to learning how other companies have implemented AI, what funding opportunities are available, how you can implement AI yourself, and more. Also, take the chance to network with experts and other AI-interested people in our networking area!

Prof. Dr. Alexander Pretschner, scientific director and speaker of fortiss GmbH, asks the crucial question during his talk "When is AI good (enough)?" How "well" does AI work, and when does it work well enough? We prefer to use machine learning, currently the most successful form of AI, for problems that we cannot describe precisely ("Detect pedestrians!" or "Give useful answers to arbitrary questions!"). The question of the quality of corresponding systems is a very difficult one from the outset. He argues that it is often useful and sometimes not – and what that means for the application of Machine Learning in practice.

Background

The German Entrepreneurship’s AI Beyond Borders Awards have been created to recognize the top 3 AI startups who are not only pushing the boundaries in artificial intelligence technology, but also are about to take off on an exciting journey across borders to expand internationally.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) startups face particular challenges when they take their business across international borders, be those national data regulations, or simply the cultural acceptance of artificial intelligence technology. It’s important for startups to plan for internationalization early, to educate themselves on potential markets, to make early connections, and to forge long-term partnerships in each new country.

#ShareTheFailure - We change the view on failure.

On February 6th we will continue with FuckupNights®Munich Vol.3 Artificial Intelligence.

◉F_ckuppers tell stories about burned money, personnel decisions that led to total failure and products that had to be recalled. They tell it all, with us on stage.

🔥 The idea comes from Mexico, where five friends realized that it takes a very humid evening to let your pants down instead of adulating each other about professional successes. In other words, to tell the stories that no one includes in their résumé. Because without failure there is no success.◉

◉ CURRENT:

✅ Check-in 6:00 p.m.

✅ Start 6.30 p.m.

✅ End approx. 21.00 hrs.

Background

Experts agree that artificial intelligence is as disruptive as electricity or the Internet. But what does that mean for you and your mid-sized company? Which use cases are really relevant for you? And what do you need to do to actually implement them? We would like to discuss these questions with you again this year and provide answers.

The aim of the event is to accompany small and medium-sized companies in particular as they enter the field of artificial intelligence. The benefits and potentials of the technology for your company will be highlighted, and entrepreneurs who have already successfully tackled the topic of artificial intelligence will show how AI can succeed.

Expect leading AI experts and users to share their knowledge with you, contacts to support you with your projects and questions, and interactive formats where you can learn how to harness the potential of AI for your business today.
