EDIH Mobility Infrastructure Decarbonisation in Mid-Germany

forthcoming

The European Digital Innovation Hub Mobility Infrastructure Decarbonisation in Mid-Germany (EDIH MID GERMANY) consolidates and elevates the achievements of EDIH Thuringia into a next-generation hub with reinforced focus on artificial intelligence. As the designated one-stop shop for digital transformation in Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia - together Germany’s third-largest region by area and sixth by population - it bridges regional ambition with European strategy, enabling AI-driven innovation in two of Europe’s most investment-intensive and strategically relevant sectors: mobility and infrastructure. Building on an exceptional service portfolio and a rapidly growing client as well as income base, EDIH MID GERMANY demonstrates operational maturity and scalable impact. It will be deeply integrated into the EU AI ecosystem—supporting the AI Action Plan, linking clients with AI Factories, AIoD, TEFs, and operating a dedicated AI Help Desk. Its digital Marketplace (edih.digital) ensures seamless access, cross-border cooperation, and interoperability with the EDIH network. EDIH MID GERMANY is anchored in advanced infrastructures such as an AI Living Lab for mobility and a climate-positive AI computing centre, enabling real-world experimentation from AI readiness to innovation. It addresses the transformation potential of the multi-billion infrastructure invest plan in Germany and supports EU goals for sustainable mobility, digital sovereignty, and economic resilience. As coordinator of the EDIH Working Group Germany, EDIH MID GERMANY fosters national coherence while engaging with European peers to shape a sovereign AI continent. Through AI upskilling, funding support, and sector-specific testbeds, it empowers public actors and SMEs to unlock growth. With strong alignment to the Digital Decade, the Digital Europe Programme, and the Green Deal, EDIH MID GERMANY is ready to scale Europe’s AI capabilities—regionally embedded, nationally coordinated, and European by design.
