Launch of AI.Academy platform

25 April 2025

AI.Hamburg/AI.Group to prepare companies to use AI responsibly

AI.Hamburg, part of the international AI.Group, has launched the AI.Academy as a hybrid and nationwide AI training platform. Experienced AI trainers offer their expertise digitally and in person on the platform. The target groups are companies of all sizes - from SMEs to corporations. More and more providers such as Google Workspace or the Bitkom Academy are offering courses on this forward-looking technology amid the growing demand for safe and responsible AI.

AI.Academy for responsible AI

"AI is no longer a project. It is becoming a basic skill," said Ragnar Kruse, co-founder and Managing Director of AI.Hamburg/AI.Group. "Thanks to our many years of experience and a strong international network, companies receive direct realizable knowledge." The AI.Academy will train companies to use AI responsibly in accordance with the EU's AI Act. The scheme features over 60 AI workshops, training courses and webinars as well as practical industrial examples and content tailored to legal requirements. Subsidies of between 50 and 75 per cent are availalble for many courses. Individual in-house workshops will be offered throughout Germany. The AI.Academy will focus initially on northern Germany.

Using AI in companies

"AI is changing our working world faster than many expected. Those who fail to act now will be left behind," said Kruse. The Hamburg-based AI.Group boosts successful AI innovations from Germany and Europe and their use in business amid a growing AI ecosystem. Under the auspices of the AI.Group, AI.Hamburg offers workshops, training courses and networking events mostly at the AI.Academy. "Those who understand early how AI can be used in their company will become more efficient, more innovative and more future-proof," said Petra Vorsteher, co-founder and Managing Director of AI.Hamburg/AI.Group and initiator of the AI.Academy.
