Recap

AI Connect 2025 in review

Over 100 decision-makers and AI leads from the Mittelstand, together for a full day at our offices in Unterhaching.

What to expect

01

Case studies from the Mittelstand

Companies show, without polish, how they took AI from the first use case to daily adoption – with real numbers.

02

Peer-to-peer exchange

No keynote from above, no product pitch: moderated brainstorming sessions where everyone shares their experience.

03

Networking that lasts

Meet leaders, innovation teams and AI enthusiasts who work on practical implementation – not just theory.
