Digital Business Services

The “Digital Business Services” team supports companies in the design and development of innovative cloud services, smart products, and services; in the selection and utilization of cloud platforms and ecosystems; and in the implementation of web-based technologies and business models.

Digital Business

The “Digital Business” team develops IT technologies and service platforms based on artificial intelligence and big data to support digitization, automation, and decision-making in business processes, and advises companies on their implementation.

Quantum Computing

The “Quantum Computing” team is investigating how companies can make effective use of quantum computers in the future and is developing software solutions, algorithms, and tools tailored to these use cases.

Fraunhofer Heilbronn Research and Innovation Centre HNFIZ

 

The Fraunhofer Heilbronn Research and Innovation Centers (HNFIZ) provide crucial impetus for the economy and society. Supported by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and in close collaboration with companies, organizations, and public institutions in the region, a unique scientific ecosystem is emerging that focuses on intensive knowledge transfer and commercialization.

Research and Innovation Centre for Hybrid Artificial Intelligence

As a collaboration between Fraunhofer IAIS and Fraunhofer IAO, the Research and Innovation Center for Hybrid AI researches and develops technologies that combine machine learning, domain knowledge, and logical reasoning.

Hybrid AI plays a key role, among other things, in the development of intelligent agents that operate autonomously to perform specified tasks.

Research and Innovation Centre for Application-Oriented Quantum-AI

The Research and Innovation Center for Application-Oriented Quantum AI does not view artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (QC) in isolation, but rather as complementary technologies with great potential.

By strategically integrating these fields, new opportunities are created for research, business, and society.
