Warum in Heilbronn is a city for KI-gebautwird

The address you are looking for is bigger here. Followed by: Im Zukunftspark. Here would be a new hotspot with the Ipai Spaces at the end of June 2024, which has now developed a project, which is the end of the Swabian Heilbron with a weltweiten hotspot for advanced intelligence machines – “The Global Home of Human AI” that stands there.

Ipai – that is for Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence, and I am finally on the 23rd day of a few kilometers of air line of the Zukunftspark that a whole AI Campus is starting. Including infrastructure with research center and test fields for AI products, but also with living space, leisure boats, gastronomy, sustainable energy management and intelligent mobility concepts – on a Renderbild a flight taxi is to be seen. People can only work, work and work in their free time. The construction start is planned for 2025, the first generation to bear fruit in 2027.

It is a fact that the Ipai Spaces have developed for setting up companies, startups and the more interesting business activities. Schon jetzt seien 70 Prozent der rund 6,000 Quadratmeter ausgebucht, at the Partner of the Ipai heard large Konzerne with Audi or Porsche genauso who the Fraunhofer-Institut for Arbeitswirtschaft and Organization, the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and the KI Bundesverband. After startups have developed, the company Aleph Alpha has started developing its own Sprach-KI. One of the things that Jonas Andrulis admits to himself in his country – and in his country of origin: “You are here very good, and you will be responsible for it, but you will not be able to get away from it.”

Digitalization in the walk-in

Wichtigster Partner is – in the state of Baden-Württemberg, the project with 50 million euros Anschubfinanzierung unterstützt – next to the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung of the owners of the Schwarz-Gruppe, of another the Lebensmitteleinzelhändler Kaufland and Lidl-gehören. Dieter Schwarz is gilded with a estimated power of over 44 billion euros as a Swiss star; There is talk of Heimatstadt Heilbronn, where digitalization in the region is taking place in multi-national projects. And so the 50 Million Euros vom Land auch 50 Millionen von Schwarz come – then, once we had started, the Foundation of Ipai in Zukunft nor with deutlich would Summen unterstützen wird.

These investments were postponed; davon is Moritz Gräter, CEO of Ipai, überzeugt. There is a place in the country where the night is located: “Wir sind noch long nicht am Ziel and es gibt nor fell aufzubauen, aber wir haben definitiv schon die höchste Dynamik in Deutschland”, erklärt there. With the Bildungscampus Heilbronn – one of the Gewächs of the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung –, at another university of the TU Munich, a free program school and bare at the ETH Zurich, it will be an “extremely fast waiting Ökosystem” for Ort.

In this system, the campus and the space are a source of inspiration: the research and the real laboratory see the role of the Ipai in the first line as an art-mixer or networker – of people and ideas. “AI in the products and processes of on-ternehmen is a very likely re-expansion. It can be a man in the system that lets go, works together”, says er. “As Ipai can think about AI-relevant Bausteine ​​​​and with all our partner and mediocre parts. “

In the great hope that this would happen, the German shipping company said after leaving: “We could perhaps not be invested in the US with the billions of investments. If you want to help others with others, that is not the case: Strength and competence of middle-class and family businesses, their know-how and industry knowledge. In combination with the fundamental investment will and the opportunities that come with innovations”, it is certain, “we can make a difference.”

The whole world in Heilbronn

That this difference can come to an end is an important one: In the Ipai Spaces there is no longer any question of einmieten. The next question is that – “in the last three months we have had a thousand first conversations”, Gräter states. If I want to start in the future, the criticism will increase: someone else has to make a conscious choice and share his own experiences with the system. “Secondly”, Gräter continues, “the seriousness of one’s own AI transformation is given. It is no longer a label for marketing or for recruitment.” Then – that is the first punk – is not so important, no matter how well the companies are written. “Companies must be serious and the ecosystem must be given. Dann passt das“, erklärt er.

Diesen Ansatz thinks that people are thinking about the infrastructure, recruitment or business partners – how the Bevölkerung will be so embedded. Deshalb finds in the Erdgeschöss des Gebäudes a bovine 1,000 Quadratmeter gross Besucher: indoor center with the Namen Ipai Living Room. What is interesting is that the intelligence of the Leitlinien “beginen, begreifen, begeistern” annähern. If you have a café in one of the Ausstellungsfläche zur Verfügung, the project developer Betty Mü derzeit must play with KI-Kunst. Dazu kommen Lernangebote, kostenlose Führungen durch das Gebäude und Möglichkeiten, KI self auszuprobieren.

Am Openingstag konnten Besucher:innen beispielsweise gegen een KI in Videopielklassiker Pong interacts with an intelligent robot or at the Aleph Alpha stand with an intelligent intellectual debate. So it is not that there is ever a cutback or a reduction in the region – the region, the long term of the automotive industry in the market, allows the note of a transformation to take place that the carmaker and its manufacturer are. So it is no wonder that the man with his Ipai and the Fachkräftemangel will start. The Baden-Württemberg Economic Minister Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut concreted in her opening speech that AI-Fachkräfte was also being developed.

They are large farms and experiences, which are founded in the Zukunftspark in the four-year company – and CEO Moritz Gräter will no longer do the reausforderung. What you would like to achieve: “The talent and pioneering of the world’s legends: In Heilbronn, in Ipai, I must have worked hard.”
