Our Vision
We want to create instruments and structures for the development and use of AI in Germany. To this end, we support important sectors such as mobility, health, cybersecurity and the future of work. We are pursuing this goal with the Center for tangible AI and digitalization.

ZEKI Spaces
At the Center for tangible AI and digitalization, we provide answers and show in an interactive Experience Hub how we are already benefiting from artificial intelligence today. The focus is on the development of AI-based technologies and the ecosystem.
With a real lab, a digitized test track for semi-autonomous vehicles in the heart of Berlin, progress in connected mobility can be experienced for oneself. We not only networked cars, but also business and science. With a scalable platform for data and mobility software, we support new innovative ideas and solutions. We also contribute our expertise to politics to successfully shape digitization in Germany.

Experiencing artificial intelligence
We want to make artificial intelligence tangible. We show how an autonomously driving car perceives its surroundings. Not simulated – but with real data from Berlin’s road traffic. You can already experience what tomorrow’s mobility will look like in partially autonomous vehicles in Berlin Mitte and City West, as well as on the digitized route. In the Experience Hub at Ernst-Reuter-Platz, you can try out new AI applications and talk to our experts.
