Masterplan Industriestadt Conference

Artificial intelligence is seen as the new global industrial revolution and offers new opportunities for economic growth, particularly for manufacturing companies in the industrial city of Berlin. AI can be used to optimise and fundamentally transform production processes, making it a key driver for the competitiveness, stability and future viability of manufacturing companies in the capital region.

This year's Masterplan Industriestadt (MPI) conference will therefore focus on the concrete application of AI in production. The event is aimed specifically at manufacturing companies that want to explore the potential and challenges of AI. It will take place on 26 November 2024 at the Merantix AI Campus and offers practical insights into how companies are already successfully integrating AI solutions into their production processes.

Inspiring spotlights will show how AI acts as a driving force in production - whether through the development of in-house AI solutions or their successful application. The panel discussion, in which the challenges and opportunities of AI for the manufacturing industry will be reflected upon, will be of particular interest to manufacturing companies.

The event will also offer plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from science, industry, associations and trade unions. Manufacturing companies will gain valuable insights into how AI can transform their production processes and competitiveness.
