Best Cases of the Hub

Green AI Day

CODE_n / Future Industries Hub Stuttgart developed the Green AI Day format together with the economic development teams of the city and region of Stuttgart and held it for the first time in September 2023. It focuses on networking, but it also includes an ambitious content program on AI-based approaches, the sustainability of business processes and the innovative conservation of finite resources. Four solution-focused break-out sessions in 2023 were dedicated to the most important Green AI topics of Energy, Mobility, Smart City & Buildings, and Agriculture & Forestry. With around 150 participants, the first edition of the Green AI Day was a complete success. The format will continue to stimulate further research, networking and cooperation in the future and increase the visibility of the Green AI ecosystem and Green AI projects in Baden-Württemberg.
