Technologies in which companies should invest in 2024

New Year, new prospects? The first few weeks of the New Year provide the perfect opportunity

to set the course for a successful 2024. The vacation season has just come to an end, and many customers, partners and service providers are only slowly getting back to business. This time can be used to reflect on where business might be heading – and where innovation might be promoted within your own company.

Seizing opportunities 2024: with Bavarian support programs

So, whether you’re a multinational, a hidden champion or a start-up, it can be useful to make a plan at the start of the year for the next twelve months. Especially in Bavaria, one of Europe’s and the world’s leading innovation locations. As the examples already cited show, the Free State is focusing on the thematic areas of mobility, life sciences, energy, materials and equipment, and digitalization. This focus is also reflected in attractive support programs for innovative ideas and a unique landscape of theme-specific networks. Both could serve not only as motivation, but also as impetus for an innovation and investment project.

This video can explain it more:

For example, in the field of artificial intelligence: the new edition of the Bavarian Ministry of Digital Affairs’ KI-Transfer Plus support program will begin in spring 2024 . The aim of the program is to introduce artificial intelligence to SMEs. The program is designed so that SMEs emerge from their digital slumber and become AI users in just nine months. Since the program’s launch in 2021, it has already worked successfully with 15 participating companies.

Networks broaden horizons and create new links

Thematic networks are another way of gaining access to new and innovative topics – and possibly to partners with whom projects can be carried out jointly: Bavaria is known for its broad and deep network structures, which have already been invaluable to the commercial success of many companies. The EinDruck interactive forum, to be held on March 6, 2024 in Furth, is a good example of this. It will bring together experts from all areas of additive manufacturing and promote exchange within the industry. This year’s main themes are data collection and use, on the one hand, and sustainability, on the other.

Whatever the specific topics relevant to your company, Bavaria offers great potential for innovation. At Invest in Bavaria, we’ll help you find suitable offers and put you in touch with the right people. Personal, confidential and with the necessary local knowledge. For a 2024 that exceeds expectations.
