AI Start-Ups in Germany
Artificial Intelligence is the focus of more and more German startups. For which industries are they developing solutions? For which fields of application in the company? An overview of the current AI startup scene.
Making startups in the field of Artificial Intelligence visible, driving the use of AI and providing opportunities for networking with established companies: With this goal in mind, the appliedAI Institute for Europe publishes an annual overview of the German AI startup landscape.
Background
Together with Deutsche Telekom, NVIDIA, Intel, UnternehmerTUM and eleven renowned venture capital firms (Cherry Ventures, Earlybird Capital, UVC Partners, Yttrium, High-Tech Founder Funds (HTGF), eCAPITAL, Burda Principal Investments, HV Capital, D11Z.Ventures, MIG Capital and AI.FUND), over 1000 startups were examined. All startups were founded in or after 2014 with a primary business model based on AI (cf. details on methodology below). All AI startups featured are headquartered in Germany.
The clustering logic is based on Shivon Zilis’ landscape of machine intelligence. It is developed from the point-of-view of companies that want to use AI in their businesses:
- Enterprise Function: Increasing productivity of existing tasks. Support your employees with ready-to-use, AI-enabled tools supporting their day-to-day work to increase productivity.
- AI Capabilities: Exploiting new data sources. Tap into new insights that were previously too difficult or expensive to be gained through conventional methods.
- Technology Type: Building products with ML. Give developers the tools that they need to build and leverage machine learning software to gain a competitive advantage.
- Industries: Leveraging AI-first products: Use and cooperate with startups using machine learning to offer industry-related products and services.
