As an AI-infused Tech Solution Provider, we make one thing clear: Artificial Intelligence is not an add-on for us – it is a core part of engineering. This became visible last week in Berlin, where our leadership team engaged in high-level exchanges with international experts, customers, and political leaders on the future of AI.

AI is already embedded in many of our projects, driving quality, safety, and efficiency today. One example is IAV Devpanion, our AI-powered SaaS tool that checks requirements against technical specifications, identifies gaps, and delivers concrete suggestions for improvement. This demonstrates how we open new business models with AI – and how our engineering expertise translates advanced technology into practical customer value.

„To unlock the full potential of AI, we need a reliable framework that enables responsible action without slowing innovation. Just as important are modern data access, open talent pathways, and clear, workable rules. Only then can AI strategies truly scale – strengthening our economy and delivering better outcomes for society.”

IAV’s voice in the global AI dialogue
Our positioning as an AI player also became visible in Berlin. Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) was honored with the Axel Springer Award. On stage, our CEO Joerg Astalosch contributed to the discussion on trust, ethics, and scalability in AI. The following day, at the WELT AI Summit, CDO Saskia Kohlhaas, CHRO Jens Pfitzinger, Head of IAV Innovation Studio Christian Nabert, and Joerg Astalosch represented IAV in dialogue with international executives about how AI can scale responsibly and deliver real value across industries.

„Europa hat kein technologisches KI-Problem. Wir haben ein Geschwindigkeitsproblem und einen Regulierungsreflex. Um mehr Wertschöpfung durch KI zu ermöglichen, müssen wir schneller vorankommen – mit iterativer Regulierung und klaren Leitplanken statt langwierigen Ausschüssen. Was Europa jetzt braucht, ist Skalierbarkeit, keine Pilotprojekte.”

Jörg Astalosch, CEO

Die beiden Tage in Berlin unterstrichen unsere Rolle als Tech Solution Provider: Wir verbinden jahrzehntelange technische Exzellenz mit KI-Kompetenz und starken Netzwerken, um ein sich entwickelndes Ökosystem aktiv mitzugestalten – weit über den Automobilbereich hinaus. We will solve it.
