Why is TAIX relevant for you?
TAIX is an open, rapidly growing network of transatlantic industry experts involving research institutions, universities, corporations, startups, investors, and government. Offering unrestricted access to invaluable content, TAIX actively nurtures connections and collaboration.
- Networking
- Connections
- Knowledge Sharing
- Successful Initiatives
TAIX, aligning with the vision of creating a close-knit network of experts, is hosting educational video events and hybrid conferences. It employs online, hybrid, and video podcast events to facilitate connections across the transatlantic ecosystem, supporting various aspects from venture fundraising to customer acquisitions.
TAIX demonstrates the ability to build trusted relationships and organize custom events. We can gather experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore relevant topics around your target markets and ecosystem players.
Continuously bridging Silicon Valley/USA and the EU ecosystem, offering a unique advantage in navigating the global tech landscape.
Through regular online and offline events, TAIX disseminates valuable insights, contributing to the growth of an unparalleled deep tech/AI-focused network.
Notably, our global Hackathon with the AI & Web3Summit led to the creation of a global DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), highlighting our ability to drive impactful collaborations.
“The race for leadership in new technologies and the question of how and to what ends we use these will define the 21st century. The US and Germany/the EU must align our strengths to ensure that our democratic take on things find their rightful place in the international framework that will govern tomorrow’s world. The new Transatlantic AI eXchange Platform is a fabulous contribution in this endeavor”
“The Transatlantic AI eXchange platform will accelerate the development and integration of transformational AI technologies across a range of industry and public sectors. The first in a multi-year series of public-private online/offline events will examine specific use cases for existing and potential applications of AI in critical areas, starting with sustainability and climate change. Future sessions will include cleantech, smart cities, healthcare, advanced manufacturing and more. We are excited to see that many leading AI experts offering their time, expertise and wisdom to support this valuable initiative.”
“The transatlantic relationship of the 21st century relies on scientific and technological cooperation. Today’s innovative and emerging industries, such as AI, propel economies, bolster job growth, and improve the lives of people on both sides of the Atlantic. Through exchange with our democratic partners, the United States ensures that these technologies underscore our shared values. As President Biden says, we must see artificial intelligence as a chance to help lift people up, not pin them down. In this spirit, I very much welcome today’s launch of the new Transatlantic AI eXchange Platform."
"The European AI Summit in 2022 was the perfect conference for the ceremony of the AI Beyond Borders Awards by German Accelerator. The event generated a great reach to the international AI community, and we appreciate the execution by Transatlantic AI eXchange."
“Thank you again for letting us contribute to the Transatlantic AI Exchange and the opportunity to host the European AI Summit 2022 together with you. Attendance, awareness and feedback were off the charts. The event drove significant traffic to our social media properties and generated substantial interest from investors and the eco system in general. Thanks to the networking session after the event and the joint social media activities, we were also able to extract a number of relevant, valuable leads for the deal flow of Intel Ignite. Can't wait to do this again - very nice ROI for us. “

Why Transatlantic AI eXchange
Harnessing AI disruptions through collaboration
This building momentum requires a platform for the USA and Europe/Germany to stimulate and coordinate this cooperation: The Transatlantic AI eXchange
The aim of this series is to stimulate exchange on AI between actors from both sides of the Atlantic and provide fertile grounds for entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and policy makers to build long term partnerships.
- Collaboration between governments, research institutions, and technology companies is necessary to benefit from AI and minimize its risks.
- Flows of data, compute power, talent, and capital for AI align with geographic boundaries incidentally rather than fundamentally.
- Germany has created a conducive policy framework to promote AI as a national priority through the “AI made in Germany” strategy, which is linked to the EU’s AI policy and regional AI governance frameworks.
- The US is realigning around AI under the Biden administration, and American companies need new access to the EU’s slowly integrating digital market after Brexit.
- Private-public partnerships with European players could provide innovative solutions for protecting privacy, securing agencies, and preventing bias in the digital economy.
