AI Launchpad at Cyber\u00a0Valley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The AI Launchpad took place at Cyber\u00a0Valley\u2019s T\u00fcbingen campus for the first time on 4\u20138 May, bringing together early-stage AI start-ups from leading European innovation ecosystems for a week of mentoring, networking, and ecosystem exploration. Born out of Rise Europe and co-organized by ELIAS (European Lighthouse of AI for Sustainability), T\u00fcbingen AI Center, and Cyber\u00a0Valley GmbH, the program supports AI start-ups as they grow from research into scalable, market-ready ventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcomed Joao Santos (Tilect, Campus Founders), Marc Willhaus (Optohive, ETH Zurich), and Olof Woxenius (Atramen.to, KTH Innovation) to T\u00fcbingen. The goal of the week was to connect these start-ups with research institutions, scientists, corporates, and investors within the Cyber\u00a0Valley ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Max Planck Open House in T\u00fcbingen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We were pleased to take part in the Max Planck Open House on Saturday, May 9, welcoming visitors to the T\u00fcbingen campus for a behind-the-scenes look at world-class research in AI, robotics, biology, and neuroscience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests explored interactive exhibits and demonstrations at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, and the Max Planck Institute for Biology T\u00fcbingen together with the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. Researchers shared insights into their work and showed how fundamental science is shaping the technologies of tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the ELLIS Institute T\u00fcbingen, ELLIS Network, the T\u00fcbingen AI Center, polybot, and Yugen Space, we showed the strength of T\u00fcbingen\u2019s innovation ecosystem, where excellent research and entrepreneurial thinking come together to advance AI and robotics in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delegation visit from Opportunity Austin, Texas<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As part of Cyber\u00a0Valley\u2019s efforts to strengthen international connections and support start-up growth, we met with Drew Chance, Vice President of Economic Development at Opportunity Austin and a local real estate investor on May 13 in T\u00fcbingen to discuss opportunities for companies looking to expand into the US market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunity Austin is a privately funded non-profit organization dedicated to attracting and supporting businesses in the Austin region. Working closely with local government, universities, and industry partners, the organization helps companies establish a presence in one of the fastest-growing technology hubs in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, we learned about several programs designed to support international start-ups, including soft-landing opportunities that can help companies navigate their first months in Austin. These initiatives are aimed at reducing barriers to market entry and accelerating business development in the region. The meeting opened up promising opportunities for future collaboration and provided an additional pathway for Cyber\u00a0Valley start-ups considering expansion into the US market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WOMEN OF TECH CONFERENCE 2026 at ARENA2036 in Stuttgart<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cyber\u00a0Valley attended the WOMEN OF TECH CONFERENCE 2026 at ARENA2036 in Stuttgart on May 21, an inspiring event that highlighted both the progress made toward greater diversity in technology and the work that still lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women continue to be underrepresented in many areas of technology, AI, and leadership. Events like the WOMEN OF TECH Conference play an important role in addressing this challenge by creating visibility, fostering meaningful connections, and strengthening professional networks that support women throughout their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2 featured engaging discussions on leadership, emotional intelligence, collaboration, AI, and the future of work. Cyber\u00a0Valley joined the event to connect with inspiring women across the tech ecosystem and to identify potential speakers for future Cyber\u00a0Valley events and initiatives. The enthusiasm, openness, and willingness to share experiences made for a particularly inspiring atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
