Bremen

As one of Germany’s leading industrial hubs, Bremen and its sister city Bremerhaven are at home in many sectors – from aerospace, wind power and logistics to the maritime and automotive industries. Companies like Mercedes, Airbus and InBev, which brews world-famous Beck’s beer, are also situated here. With the fourth-largest container port in Europe and the highest export ratio of all German federal states, Bremen values international relations. Around 50 technology research institutes help to put new ideas into practice, including 3D printing and artificial intelligence. Bremen is also passionate about things that make life more enjoyable. The city offers a wide range of art and entertainment, is located by the riverside and boasts plenty of green spaces – in fact, it is Germany’s greenest urban centre.

Robots have become commonplace in industry but not yet in our everyday lives. Blackout Technologies wants to change this. This innovative start-up is a leading company in the development of artificial intelligence for social robotics. It is headquartered in the Bremen World Trade Center and relies on the many highly trained Bremen university graduates to establish an international team in a rapidly growing field. In addition, it relies on close contact to other top AI companies and institutions in the Bremen.AI network. The goal is to have robots and humans working hand in hand one day – in every business sector.
