Times are rapidly changing. Major challenges in crucial areas such as energy, climate, digitalisation and supply-chain security require bold and creative solutions.<\/p>\n

Science, business and society must work collectively to find answers and solutions, so we can make Bavaria – our home \u2013 liveable, successful and internationally competitive both now and in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

At the forefront of the Hightech Agenda <\/strong><\/p>\n

With this goal in mind, Bavaria has commenced a programme that is one of the most national and internationally ambitious initiatives concerning science, education, research and development.<\/p>\n

The Hightech Agenda is unique for German standards, with a planned investment of over 3.5 billion euros. The programme invests in the brightest minds and creates approximately 3800 positions at Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences, of which at least a thousand new professorships with a focus on Artificial Intelligence, Clean Tech and Aerospace.<\/p>\n

In addition, new study places will be created for more than 13.000 students. Through this, the Hightech Agenda seeks to strengthen Bavaria\u2019s position in research and education by promoting the development of new ideas and the latest technologies, both academically and in practical implementation. Small and middle enterprises will be wholeheartedly supported in the digital transformation, so that employment and innovative capacity are secured. Whether it concerns healthcare, hydrogen technology, energy security, climate change, Industry 5.0 or smart living, the Hightech Agenda offers the answers to the major questions of our time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The use of artificial intelligence \u2013 whether noticeable or not \u2013 is already a part of our everyday life. Whether in medicine, communications or road traffic: the use of AI will bring about major advancements. Research has been going on in Bavaria for many years now. Meanwhile, an internationally renowned AI ecosystem has emerged, consisting of Bavarian universities and other academic institutes, as well as start-ups and enterprises. Bavaria is thus becoming a premium location for research, development and application of innovative artificial intelligence technology. With over a hundred new AI-related professorships, a state-wide AI network and many production related projects, the Hightech Agenda further strengthens an already promising position in this exciting field. Through an AI centre with a special focus on intelligent robotics in Munich along with the different overarching themes of data science, health and mobility in W\u00fcrzburg, Erlangen-Nuremberg and Ingolstadt respectively, the foundation of a state-wide research network is being created.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Supercomputing and Quantumcomputing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quantum technology is proving to be one of the most fascinating and promising areas in modern technology. It has for instance already provided us with our modern-day GPS and navigation systems. Bavaria has made rigorous plans to develop quantum computers in the coming years. With Munich as the centre of the Munich Quantum Valley initiative, the Free State is to become a hub for research and development in quantum technologies. Bavaria is also ahead of the game in the field of high-performance computers. With its so-called “IT cathedral”, the Leibniz Computing Centre in Garching near Munich, Bavaria is at the very top of the supercomputer rankings worldwide.<\/p>\n

Aerospace is considered a key technology for Bavaria and will receive a significant boost through the Hightech Agenda. The epicentre of this development is the Department for Aerospace and Geodesy at the Technical University of Munich<\/a> (TUM), which is already prominent in the international academic community. Here, ground-breaking research is taking place in the fields of remote sensing, satellite technologies and space travel, as well transportation applications such as so-called air taxis and Hyperloop<\/a> technologies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

CleanTech
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the Hightech Agenda, Bavaria is paving the way for innovative climate protection. Whether synthetic fuels, modern battery research or hydrogen: clean technologies are the Bavarian energy sources of the future.<\/p>\n

Investments are being made in a cutting-edge battery network at the Bayreuth, Munich, Augsburg and W\u00fcrzburg locations. The Bavarian Battery Centre at the University of Bayreuth<\/a> bundles interdisciplinary research and development for battery storage and offers innovative battery-focused master degree programmes. In Munich, the Technical University (TUM) and BMW are conducting research in the field of material analysis and solid-state technology. The Fraunhofer Institute in Augsburg focuses its research on production and automation technology, while the Fraunhofer Institute in W\u00fcrzburg is working on the development of new materials, manufacturing processes and recycling. The aim is to develop a new generation of climate-friendly and more powerful batteries for electromobility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Furthermore, the Bavarian hydrogen strategy is currently gaining pace. The newly established hydrogen centre in Nuremberg<\/a> seeks to link hydrogen technology between universities and industry to create over 50 hydrogen filling stations throughout Bavaria in the coming years. To further this goal, we are developing the “Synthetic Fuels” research centre<\/a> in Straubing into a national centre, adding four new professorships to the campus and plans to install a new power-to-liquid plant in the medium term. Moreover, synthetic aviation fuels are being developed there as substitutes for kerosene. All in all, these unique are state-of-the-art, both in Germany as the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
