Newsletter April: Fund Your Data & AI
Once a month, we write our Datentreiber newsletter—by hand, not by AI. Why? Because it’s a good opportunity to think back on the past few weeks and think ahead to the coming ones. That way, we can see: what went well? What went wrong?
This month, for example, we’ve unfortunately realized that we still haven’t managed to kick-off our new format, the AI Labs. Unfortunately, that will take a little longer. Until then, stay tuned and follow us on Luma.
BRING-YOUR-OWN-PROJECT
But we have another offer for you: 1:1 data & AI coaching with public funding (“BAFA-Unternehmensberatung”) Do you have a project that’s stalled? A data & AI strategy initiative or a data & AI solution implementation? We’ll help you with both expert advice and hands-on support. As an SME in Germany, you’ll receive a 50% subsidy to cover the costs!
📞 Georg Arens will tell you how it works—get in touch with him.
By the way: self-employed individuals in Germany can also get funding for our training courses through KOMPASS. Georg is happy to discuss this with you as well.
COMMUNITY LOTTERY
Another way to join our training sessions is through the Data & AI Business Design Community: Once a month, as a community member, you have a chance to win a ticket to our Labs and Training sessions. In April, the lucky winner is Linda Meijer—congratulations! See you soon online or onsite!
If you don’t want to miss out on your chance in May, sign up for our free community today.
Not only is there something to win every month, but you’ll also get lots of valuable information & insights, new tools & templates, good reads & best books, plus other events & offers.
