Outstanding investment in the future
Minister of Economic Affairs Aiwanger stated: "Bavaria is becoming an AI location. This means our 15 million euro contribution as part of the Hightech Agenda Bavaria is an outstanding investment in the future. A KI.FABRIK for developing new product ideas and production methods using the latest AI-driven robot technologies takes the Bavarian economy to an entirely new level. This will create unprecedented perspectives for research, development and production, making production more flexible. New products will no longer mean a constant need for new machines and production halls or for shifting capacities abroad. Easy-to-use apps will be able to transfer every production order to the adaptive KI.FABRIK and individually control its fulfillment. This is an important contribution to local, crisis-proof, economical manufacturing of the most modern products here in Bavaria."
Minister of Scientific Affairs Bernd Sibler also sent a video message: "Artificial Intelligence is the key technology of the future. TUM's MSRM consolidates outstanding expertise to conduct research among other things on the meaning of new digital technologies for the work we do. Bringing the findings of science to society is a decisive factor in the broad exploitation of these new opportunities. The new KI.FABRIK with its showroom in the Deutsches Museum does exactly that: Here we can experience future-oriented research first-hand and gain an undertanding of how these technologies work. I am very pleased that we can lay the cornerstone for this future-oriented project today with funds from the Hightech Agenda Bavaria."
