FIDA at INNO Meet & Learn: Strengthening AI Skills Together
On June 15, 2026, another event in the INNO Meet & Learn series organized by the IT Mitteldeutschland Cluster took place. Under the theme “AI in Our Minds—But How?”, representatives from business, academia, and regional networks came together to discuss current developments and the use of artificial intelligence.
Björn Marz and Marian Mischke attended the event on behalf of FIDA. The event focused on innovative approaches to promoting AI skills, as well as the question of how companies and institutions in the region can collaborate even more closely.
A highlight of the program was the presentation by Björn Marz in his capacity as a board member of ITnet Thüringen e.V. He introduced the KInet42 initiative, which brings together regional expertise in the field of artificial intelligence on a shared platform. The initiative’s goal is to connect companies, research institutions, and other stakeholders, promote the exchange of knowledge, and drive joint innovation.
In addition to the technical presentations, the event offered numerous opportunities for personal exchanges with companies, partners, and experts from the region. It is precisely these conversations that provide valuable insights and demonstrate how important strong networks are for the further development of AI applications and digital innovations.
We would like to thank the Central German IT Cluster, ITnet Thüringen e.V., and LEG Thüringen for the successful organization and the open exchange of ideas. We are already looking forward to the next edition of INNO Meet & Learn.
