Looking back, 3 November 2026

A full room for the first meeting

All 20 seats were taken, and Niederbayern TV came along with a camera. Christian Kirsch opened the cluster with the question of why AI still rarely reaches mid-sized companies, even though the technology has long been there. Norman Müller, chair of the Bundesverband für KI-Transformation, joined by video message.

After that came what the team brought back from Lisbon and Silicon Valley. Mostly AI agents that handle multi-step tasks on their own, and the question of what happens when a US provider shuts off access to its models. After the break, the programme moved on to visibility in AI search and training with AI.

Asked what the cluster should take on next, the audience named AI agents and voice AI, along with visibility in AI search. We are taking that into the next meeting.

Why the cluster exists

Twenty kilometres away, somebody has already worked this out

Anyone working with AI in Lower Bavaria usually does so alone. The questions are the same everywhere. Which tasks are worth it, who gets access to which data, how do you get people to actually use the new tools. What the company in the next town has already found out never travels.

That is why PASSION4IT and amaiko are building the AI Cluster Niederbayern. Once a quarter, at the RiverRoom, with practice instead of slides about the next revolution. We started on 3 November 2026, the next meeting follows in the first quarter of 2027.

Who this is for

Companies using AI, not AI specialists

We are inviting managing directors, HR leads and executives from mid-sized companies in the region, along with decision-makers from local government. No prior knowledge needed. If infrastructure, operations and the technical side are what you are after, the deep dive in the first quarter of 2027 is your event.

Where the cluster stands today

An initiative in the making

PASSION4IT and amaiko started the AI Cluster Niederbayern. Official recognition as a cluster of the Bundesverband für KI-Transformation e. V. is still pending and requires enough member companies to join. That is what we are working on.

What a membership covers, from access to the regional clusters through the member platform and working groups to discounted training, is set out on the association's website. None of it is needed for the meetings themselves.
