A symbolic moment for the future of artificial intelligence: The groundbreaking ceremony marks the beginning of a visionary technology project in Heilbronn: On around 30 hectares, a place is being created where over 5,000 people work together on the future of applied artificial intelligence — and thus form a strong European voice in the global AI landscape. The new campus will become an international center for innovative and responsible AI solutions. It stands for openness, cooperation and sustainability — values that should combine research, business and society. This is not only creating an attractive place to work and research for experts from all over the world, but also a meeting place: a place where people come together to learn, create and experience the future — a place where innovation and responsibility go hand in hand.
