MISSION KI is setting the pace
for ‘AI Made in Germany’
MISSION KI - National Initiative for Artificial Intelligence and Data Economy is a project of acatech - National Academy of Science and Engineering, funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs (BMDV ) in the amount of €32 million. The project aims to strengthen digital competitiveness and, as a lever project of the digital strategy, serves two of the fields of action: it supports the development of uniform standards and improves the availability and findability of data.
MISSION AI pursues three objectives: the project aims to expand the database for AI innovations and to network data spaces across sectors and national borders. MISSION KI aims to develop and test transparent AI quality and testing standards in accordance with German and European values. To this end, AI innovation and quality centres, contact points for founders, start-ups and SMEs as well as public experience spaces will be established. The initiative also aims to support the growth of AI innovations. To this end, instruments are being developed to strengthen the transfer and scaling of AI applications in economic value creation.
A cooperative approach is being pursued in all of this. On the one hand, this is done by networking and complementing the many good approaches and foundations in Germany and Europe. For example, there is close cooperation with the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the IPAI (AI Innovation Park) in Germany as well as the Data Spaces Support Center (DSSC
