AI Fusion is aimed at an international audience from research, education, start-up scene as well as SMEs and large enterprises. The format aims to make AI more tangible and offers a platform for great AI learning, best practices on the live stage and a high-quality science conference.

To this end, Messe Stuttgart has teamed up with the Tübingen AI Center, among others. As one of five national centers of excellence for AI research and embedded in an ecosystem of regional and international initiatives, the Tübingen AI Center is shaping and discussing the next generation of machine intelligence. The goal is to develop more robust, efficient and responsible systems in order to bring them into commercial use and deploy them for the benefit of society.

The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism is also a partner behind the AI Fusion. After all, the state government wants to strengthen regional competence in artificial intelligence with "AI made in BW." In addition, the ministry is organizing the Start-up BW Summit, which is taking place in parallel at the exhibition center. This is an event for start-ups in Baden-Württemberg - Israel has already confirmed its participation as one of this year's partner countries.
