Rostock (dpa/mv) - The CDU parliamentary group in the Schwerin state parliament has called on the state government to promote innovations and start-ups more than before. The state must take additional funds into its own hands if Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is not to fall behind in the competition between the federal states for the best minds, said the spokesman for financial policy, Marc Reinhardt, on Tuesday in Rostock. He cited Bavaria as an example, where, according to him, 1,000 additional professorships and 10,000 study places in information technology will be created.
Other northern German states have turned their centers for artificial intelligence (AI) into permanent institutions. "This would also be the right way for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," said Reinhard. Especially in MV with its many small and medium-sized companies, it is essential to provide information about AI and data science in an easily accessible manner.
