Bavaria is home to high-tech and Europe's premium location for the digital economy. The Bavarian state government is providing the necessary momentum to gradually turn this vision into reality. Among other things, with our High-Tech Agenda, we have successfully developed the Free State into a magnet for digital future technologies and global champions who are actively shaping them in recent years. By consistently expanding Bavaria as a premium location for AI companies, we want to play a leading role in shaping this revolution – and ensure that Bavaria emerges as the winner of the AI age.
