Overview

AI NATION is Germany's nationwide AI startup support platform, formed by merging AI+MUNICH and K.I.E.Z. into one platform that connects Berlin, Munich, and additional German regions. Its mission is to identify Germany's most promising AI startups and support them holistically by connecting science, industry, investors, experts, universities, and startup hubs.

Focus

AI NATION invests in early-stage AI startups, providing resources, mentorship, and funding to help them scale. The organization offers two main programs: the AI NATION Grant, which supports teams before company formation with funding up to €54,000, and the AI NATION Accelerator, a six-month program for incorporated startups focusing on market strategy, product development, and financing.
