Good work rarely happens alone.

Yes, when it serves the outcome. What matters is not the logo but the value it brings to our customers.

Yes, when stance, quality and collaboration line up. We don't grow the network for its own sake — only when it serves a concrete result.

Yes, in the German Mittelstand and regional space as well as in topical networks — see the logo grid above.

Eight, each with a different purpose. Mittelstand and region: BVMW – Federal Association of German Mittelstand, the IHK Lower Bavaria committee, and Pack ma's digital run by IHK Munich. Subject matter: the Federal Association for AI Transformation (Venture AI Germany) and Microsoft Partner. Alongside those, Weissman & Cie. for family businesses, IU International University of Applied Sciences for teaching and early-career work, and Planted for our woodland project at the Mühlriegel. On top of that comes HEY, ALTER! Viechtach, an initiative we co-founded in 2022 that passes used laptops on to pupils.

A regional expert group within the Federal Association for AI Transformation, built jointly by PASSION4IT and amaiko. Companies, public sector organizations, technology partners and practitioners from the region are invited — from knowledge workers to managing directors, with municipal administrations explicitly included. Membership in the association is not required to attend.

Once a quarter at the RiverRoom, Am Regen 5, 94234 Viechtach. The programme covers tech talks by our developers and site engineers, use cases from live customer projects, and input from external speakers. The first meeting is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026; we will announce the date and topic through our news section, our newsletter and our social channels.

Continuity and substance. A networking event is a single evening with a changing audience. The cluster is an expert group with a fixed venue, a fixed rhythm and a thread running across the meetings: permissions, data quality, governance, and whether staff can actually use the new tools productively. Chatbot demos and slides about the next revolution are not needed for that.

Two things, both verifiable. First, admission is tied to a qualification process covering professional competence, ethical standards, data protection and hands-on experience — an external check rather than a self-declaration. Second, the association carries a professional exchange through which experience from other organizations flows back into our projects. What the membership is not: a certification of your AI solution, or a substitute for your own compliance work.

Through a qualification process before admission. It reviews professional competence, ethical standards, data protection and demonstrable hands-on experience. That is how our own admission ran in August 2026, assessed separately for each of our two brands. The binding criteria and the membership fees are published by the association itself.

Attending the cluster meetings does not require association membership. Invitations run through us: register your interest and you go on the list for the first invitation, which states the terms for that particular meeting. For your own membership in the federal association, its own fee rules apply and are best requested there directly.

Email service@passion4it.de or call +49 9942 465 93-99 and we will arrange the handover. We are looking for working laptops with at least a 2 GHz dual-core processor and 4 GB RAM, with camera, microphone, speakers and display in working order. We do not accept desktop PCs. You do not need to wipe the data beforehand; we neutralise every storage device and issue a deletion certificate on request. The devices go through the schools in Viechtach to pupils whose families cannot afford a computer.
