MeJoin, one of ten research networks funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), advises German and Japanese small and medium-sized companies that are interested in exploring the advantages of artificial intelligence. The consortium of the project, which passes on the accumulated expertise, consists of the Chair of Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems at Friedrich-Alexander University, the Mechatronics and Automation Cluster from Germany, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Saitama University and the Saitama City Foundation for Business Creation from Japan.
This tailors individually to the participating companies by means of market studies and catalogues of measures developed by MeJoin. The catalogues show the companies which measures are taken when expanding abroad and which developments in the field of artificial intelligence are relevant for the business conduct.
MeJoin helps companies to open up a new market and strengthen the relationship between Germany and Japan on the one hand, and to recognise, evaluate and use the advantages of artificial intelligence in their own companies on the other.
MeJoin also provides the companies with additional information required in the respective situation during the entire project duration (07.2019 - 12.2020).
The findings of the market studies and further research will be published as part of the research marketing to generate additional attention for the project and the companies. One of these measures are Master Workshops where all representatives meet and discuss the current developments and ideas. The next workshop will take place in Saitama at the end of the year and a detailed report is scheduled for the next newsletter.
