AI Hub Frankfurt
AI Hub Frankfurt Rhein-Main is a regional initiative that helps companies and startups introduce and use artificial intelligence. The hub offers strategy and technology workshops, support for implementing AI projects and practical training for employees. The AI Hub Frankfurt network brings together established companies, founders and AI specialists so that organizations can find expertise beyond their own teams.
Companies need more than access to an AI tool: they must identify suitable tasks, assess technical requirements and prepare the people who will work with the technology. AI Hub Frankfurt helps decision-makers and project teams examine possible applications, develop an AI strategy and build the skills needed to put selected ideas into practice. Events such as AI Week Frankfurt give participants opportunities to discuss implementation experience and meet potential project partners across the region.
AI projects and training in Rhine-Main
The hub supports companies with AI strategy, implementation and staff training. The data science company statworx supports the initiative, and the KI Bundesverband, the German AI association, is a partner organization.
Events bring together participants from technology, finance and pharmaceuticals, giving bank teams a chance to discuss applications with people working in other industries.
AI Week Frankfurt
AI Week Frankfurt is the hub's conference week, and AI Hub Frankfurt sells its tickets through its own ticket shop. In 2025 the conference took place at The Squaire, the office building on top of the long-distance train station at Frankfurt Airport, and partners ran official side events around it.
Finance Loop held one of those side events on 30 October 2025: an evening on AI and blockchain in institutional finance, a short taxi ride from The Squaire. Talks covered deepfake awareness, AI as an investigator against financial crime, trusted AI and AI testing, and the potential of tokenization. The side event page lists the agenda and the speakers.
The rules for AI in banks and insurers
Financial institutions must meet specific legal requirements when using artificial intelligence. The EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, counts two finance uses as high-risk: AI that scores the creditworthiness of natural persons, and AI that sets risk and prices in life and health insurance. Fraud detection is expressly outside the credit scoring line. In Germany, BaFin supervises AI that banks and insurers use in direct connection with regulated business, under the German act implementing the AI Act.
A model that runs on a cloud service also touches DORA: the cloud contract goes into the register of ICT third-party arrangements that every bank keeps. The EU AI Act in financial services page covers the duties in detail, and the hub answers on the EU AI Act for banks and on DORA explain the terms. How Frankfurt's banks use AI today is on the AI in finance in Frankfurt page.
