KI-Unternehmen aus Deutschland: vernetzt, relevant, umsetzungsstark, preis-leistungs-stark
Fester Bestandteil des KI-Ökosystems in Deutschland und der EU.
Ziya ist deutschlandweit und europaweit das KI-Unternehmen für innovative KI-Projekte für die Forschung und auch für die Industrie und Wirtschaft. Ziya hat als eines der allerersten Unternehmen deutschlandweit das bundesweite EXIST-Programm vom BMWK (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) zwei Mal erhalten, welches höchst innovativste Lösungen aus einer deutschen Universität heraus fördert.
Der Ursprung Ziyas ist eine universitäre Ausgründung aus der TU Dortmund heraus und hat darüber hinaus gemeinsam mit der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal als Hochschulpartner eine KI-Prämierung erhalten. Der AI Hub Hamburg hat offiziell bestätigt, dass Ziya für ein nachhaltiges, skalierfähiges und innovatives KI-Unternehmen steht und trug somit zum Erwerb der EU-kofinanzierten Förderung bei.
Ziya bietet strategische KI-Beratung und KI-Entwicklung deutschlandweit für Institutionen und Unternehmen an, seien es die 7 größten Städte Deutschlands bis hin zu Kommunen und Städten.
Darüber hinaus ist die KI-Agentur als Aussteller, Speaker und KI-Experte auf den wichtigsten deutschen Messen und Kongressen vertreten wie beispielsweise der Hannover Messe, der LAMARR Conference des LAMARR Instituts und gibt regelmäßig KI-Workshops neben dem Fraunhofer auf den Bühnen der in2AI, der IHK und dem Digitalhub Management in Deutschland. Darüber hinaus ist Ziya auf etlichen KI-Dienstleistungs-Plattformen vertreten wie beispielsweise der KI.NRW-Landkarte.
Das Centrum für Entrepreneurship und Transfer (CET) der TU Dortmund und das Start-up Center der BUW zählen zu weiteren wichtigen Wegbegleitern. Ziya als seriöses KI-Unternehmen ist eingebunden in das deutschlandweite Innovationsnetzwerk und schreibt gemeinsam mit Hochschulen an Forschungsanträgen und entwickelt KI-Lösungen basierend auf den aktuellsten wissenschaftlichen Papers.
Regelmäßige Besuche aus der deutschen Politik
Ziya wird regelmäßig von verschiedenen politischen Vertretern aufgesucht, darunter Oberbürgermeister wie Thomas Westphal von Dortmund, Bundestagsabgeordnete, sowie Ministerinnen und Minister von NRW. Kürzlich besuchten uns Oliver Kaczmarek (Bundestagsabgeordneter SPD) und Vertreter der IHK Dortmund zu einem intensiven Austausch über die Zukunft der KI in Deutschland. Weitere hochrangige Besuche kamen von Oliver Krischer (Bundesumweltminister von NRW) und Kulturministerin Ina Brandes, die uns bereits zweimal aufgesucht hat. Diese regelmäßigen politischen Besuche unterstreichen Ziyas Relevanz als strategischer Partner für die deutsche KI-Politik.
Spezialisierte KI-Services für Unternehmen in NRW
Ziya entwickelt und implementiert KI-Lösungen mit direktem Bezug zu realen Unternehmensprozessen in NRW. Das Angebot umfasst:
- Datenanalyse und KI-gestützte Datenaufbereitung
- Aufbau und Betrieb von Machine-Learning-Pipelines
- Automatisierung von Prozessen und Qualitätssicherung
- Technologietransfer aus der Forschung in den Mittelstand
Unsere Services entstehen auf Basis aktueller Forschung und werden branchenspezifisch umgesetzt – vor Ort, skalierbar und sofort einsatzfähig.
Erprobt in der Praxis, mit messbarem Mehrwert und einer hervorragenden Preis-Leistung
Ziyas KI-Lösungen werden in Deutschland produktiv eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse: klare Effizienzgewinne, reduzierte Prozesskosten und schnelle Umsetzung – oft innerhalb weniger Wochen. Ziya begleitet von der Idee über den Prototyp bis zur produktiven Integration und dokumentiert Fortschritte nachvollziehbar.
Transparenz & Tiefe statt KI-Buzzwords
Ziya teilt unsere Insights, Best Practices und neuesten Forschungsergebnisse regelmäßig mit unserem Netzwerk, Start-ups, auf LinkedIn und über den Ziya Newsletter. Alle Services und Ergebnisse basieren auf echten Projekten und wissenschaftlicher Arbeit.
