Franco-German AI innovation projects
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the French Ministère de l'Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique are jointly funding five cooperation projects aimed at increasing crisis resilience with the help of Artificial Intelligence. In particular, the projects intend to create AI solutions to fight climate change, to early detect and combat future epidemics and to make our industries more resilient to the supply-chains interruptions.
In the Treaty of Aachen (2019), Germany and France agreed to intensify their cooperation in the field of Artificial Intelligence. In February 2021, the two countries launched a joint funding call for R&D projects. Five winning projects are currently being funded with a total of 17.9 million euros.
