AI COMPETENCE CENTRE: INNOVATION MEETS COOPERATION

A new chapter of technological innovation and cooperation begins in Kufstein: the new AI Competence Centre is intended to guarantee partner companies access to first-class knowledge, expertise and implementation skills in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Initiated by regional companies and in close cooperation with the Kufstein University of Applied Sciences, this pioneering project enables the development and application of AI solutions to be driven forward. With the increasing importance of artificial intelligence, the competence centre will play a central role in promoting digital innovations. It offers companies from the Kufstein region the opportunity to benefit from the expertise, resources and technological edge of the University of Applied Sciences in order to strengthen their own position and thus increase their competitiveness.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CO-OPERATION PARTNERSHIP

The partnership with the AI Competence Centre promises a wide range of benefits for the participating companies - including access to training and consulting services, the development of customised AI solutions, the optimisation of business processes and the identification of opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence. Furthermore, potential fields of activity in the context of AI are to be identified and prioritised. The resulting projects will be implemented by the participating companies under the management and coordination of the experts available at the competence centre.

"The AI Competence Centre Kufstein heralds a new era of cooperation and innovation and positions the region as a leading location for research into artificial intelligence," says Rector Prof. (FH) Mario Döller. "To this end, we are identifying potential companies at a local and regional level in order to enter into long-term partnerships that will benefit all parties in the long term." The AI Competence Centre is financed by a combination of private and public (funding) resources, with the participating companies bearing the majority of the costs.

"Through practical, future-orientated research, we enable our students to gain practical transfer knowledge and establish contacts in the business world. On the other hand, our cooperation partners have the opportunity to carry out AI projects at the cutting edge of research and to rethink business processes using the new possibilities offered by AI technologies," adds Tobias Stegmann, MSc. Head of the AI Competence Centre.
