📋 Tender Overview
Bavarias Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger has described the AI company OpenAIs decision to locate in Bavaria as an important signal for the further expansion of future technologies and new business models in the Free State. Aiwanger said after the meeting of the Bavarian Council of Ministers: Bavaria is a high-tech location and this is the only way we will ensure prosperity in the Free State in the future. Precisely because traditional industry is coming under increasing pressure, we are also consistently focusing on the high-tech sector. The best proof of Bavarias attractiveness for future technologies is the decision of the global corporation OpenAI to locate in Munich.
OpenAI was well looked after by our settlement agency Invest in Bavaria and introduced into the high-tech networks. If a global corporation that developed ChatGPT decides in favor of Munich and not Berlin in the German location considerations after intensive research, then a directional decision has been made for the entire high-tech industry. Bavaria is not only a step ahead of Berlin in terms of the number of start-ups. With its innovative companies and scientists, Munich has pushed itself way ahead as the most attractive location for future technologies in Germany, explained Aiwanger.
Bavaria is also consistently committed to future energy supply technology in the form of nuclear fusion technology. Aiwanger: It will certainly be some time before these clean power plants supply energy. But Bavarias economy will benefit from this technology much sooner. Start-ups that develop new business models, for example in medical technology, will soon settle in the scientific field. On the way to the first nuclear fusion reactors, Bavaria and Munich will be the first addresses for founders who will benefit from the technology and create jobs.
It will work in a similar way with quantum technology. Here, too, we do not yet have the high-tech quantum computer with which we can access super data at the push of a button. But the additional benefits of quantum technology are also tangible. There are already companies like PlanQC or Quantum Diamonds that develop business models in Bavaria as a kind of supplier. That is why it is right that we invest in the high-tech agenda and show the world that Bavaria is the first port of call for the future and therefore also for prosperity in Europe, said the Minister of State.
