DFKI Human Centric AI Innovation Hub

Germany: Rhineland-Palatinate

Overview

The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence GmbH (DFKI) was founded in 1988 as a non-profit public-private partnership. It has research facilities in Kaiserslautern, Saarbrücken and Bremen, a project office in Berlin, and branch offices in Osnabrück and St. Wendel. In the field of innovative commercial software technology using Artificial Intelligence, DFKI is the leading research center in Germany.

Based on application oriented basic research, DFKI develops product functions, prototypes and patentable solutions in the field of information and communication technology. Research and development projects are conducted in eighteen research departments and research groups, eight competence centers and eight living labs.

DFKI is actively involved in numerous organizations representing and continuously advancing Germany as an excellent location for cutting-edge research and technology. Far beyond the country’s borders DFKI enjoys an excellent reputation for its academic training of young scientists. DFKI serves as a stepping stone to leading positions in industry and successful careers as founders of spin-off companies. Over the years, more than 130 staff members have been appointed professors at universities in Germany and abroad.

The Innovative Factory Systems (IFS) research department at DFKI, headed by Prof. Dr. Martin Ruskowski, deals with issues surrounding Industrie 4.0 and the factory of the future. We develop scientific approaches and new concepts in research and industry projects before moving on to practical testing in an industrial environment.

In many cases, the research results are transferred for implementation by SmartFactoryKL and its members from industry. The close collaboration between DFKI and SmartFactoryKL is a major key to our success. Both were appointed Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Kaiserslautern (SME 4.0 Competence Center) by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in 2016.
