Interviews & media contributions about the KI Park

Lingen is the third satellite location of the KI Park Berlin

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long since arrived in our everyday lives. The use of AI is also becoming increasingly relevant for companies. KI Park e.V., based in Berlin, is committed to the rapid testing and application of AI. The KI Park currently has around 200 members from eleven countries. So far, the KI Park has had two satellite locations: Nuremberg-Erlangen and Stockholm. The city of Lingen is now participating in the project as a new location and new member of the KI Park.

Podcast with Oliver Salzmann

How can Europe keep up in the global race for artificial intelligence? In this episode of the SeedBox podcasts we talk to Olly Salzmann, board member and Chief AI Officer of KI Park e.V., about the challenges and opportunities that artificial intelligence offers European companies.

How can European companies remain competitive despite an often wait-and-see attitude and what role do German AI ecosystems play in this? Olly Salzmann provides exclusive insights into the dynamics of fast innovation cycles and explains why a wait-and-see attitude can be dangerous for companies. Although there are many uncertainties, the current trends and positive developments show that Europe is on the right track.

Interview with Dr Florian Schütz

"We want to become the leading ecosystem that connects the best initiatives in Germany and Europe." But the fundamental question for identifying the success factors of an ecosystem is: Why should we work in an ecosystem at all? You can also develop technologies on your own as a research institution, start-up or company. But we have to differentiate here: If it's not "just" about the next fastest chip, but, for example, about the healthcare of tomorrow, about trustworthy
