AI and Digital Sovereignty in Rosenheim: Knowledge, Practice, and Networking for Bavaria and Tyrol

Understanding AI, Acting Sovereign: Future Impulses for Bavaria and Tyrol

How can the use of Artificial Intelligence be successful without losing control over data, infrastructure, and strategic decisions? The Euroregio Inntal and the University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim invite companies, authorities, and municipalities from the border regions of Bavaria and Tyrol to a practical networking event on October 23, 2026.

From 9:00 to 12:45, the event experience at TH Rosenheim combines knowledge transfer, expert presentations, and personal exchange. The focus will be on European AI tools, digital sovereignty, and concrete ways organizations can remain capable of action despite technological dependencies.

Keynote Between Innovation and Dependency

The event begins at 9:15 AM with a keynote by Prof. Dr. Christopher Jud from the University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim. Under the title AI as an Opportunity – Dependency as a Risk, he contextualizes current developments around AI, cloud infrastructures, and application systems. It addresses redundancy, interoperability, and open technologies as central components of digital sovereignty.

Practical Knowledge for Companies and Municipalities

After the coffee break at 10:00 AM, there will be practical reports from science, business, and administration. The University of Applied Sciences Kufstein will highlight current developments in Tyrol. Innfactory will present the sovereign cloud STACKIT from Germany. Valtyrol will show how SMEs and municipalities can structure their data assets for AI use and ensure the interchangeability of providers.

Further impulses will address the labeling requirements for AI content in practice, as well as experiences from companies and authorities. Contributions from TechDivision, Klickbeben, and the City of Munich make the event particularly relevant for decision-makers who wish to not only discuss AI strategies but anchor them within their organizations.

Networking with a Focus on the Border Region

The atmosphere thrives on direct exchange: questions, discussions, and new contacts are part of the concept. During the snack break from 12:15 PM, there will be room to deepen the impulses and initiate cross-border cooperation between Bavaria and Tyrol. The event is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises, municipalities, authorities, and those responsible for digitization, IT, and organizational development.

Experience, Expertise, and Guidance for the Digital Future

The organization connects the scientific expertise of TH Rosenheim with regional event management and the network of Euroregio Inntal. The format provides no abstract forecast of the future, but tangible suggestions for event planning, modernization of administration, secure data processing, and the responsible use of AI. Participation is funded within the framework of Interreg Bavaria Austria and is free of charge.

Conclusion: Using AI Without Losing One's Ability to Act

The networking event at the University of Applied Sciences Rosenheim offers compact specialist information, tangible practical examples, and a strong platform for exchange between business, administration, and science. Those who view digital sovereignty as a strategic task and are seeking solid contacts in the Bavaria-Tyrol border region will experience an informative morning with direct practical relevance.
