In his address, the Minister-President emphasized the unique character of Speinshart, where \u201cAbbey\u201d and \u201cAI\u201d go hand in hand. He highlighted the historic monastery village as an important regional anchor for spirituality and reflection \u2014 and at the same time as a forward-looking hub for high technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. S\u00f6der underlined the successful development of the\u00a0Speinshart Scientific Center for AI and SuperTech (SSC), which has established itself as a dynamic research center for artificial intelligence and key technologies. He reaffirmed Bavaria\u2019s commitment to consistently advancing its Hightech Strategy \u2014 particularly in rural areas. In this context, the Bavarian State Government will continue to support the expansion and operation of the SSC through 2027 with funding of more than\u00a0\u20ac5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister-President also stressed the broader importance of strengthening rural regions, describing them as \u201cthe soul of Bavaria.\u201d Record allocations in the municipal financial equalization scheme, broadband expansion programs, and the relocation of public authorities are clear signals of sustained investment in Bavaria\u2019s regions \u2014 securing prosperity and jobs throughout the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the SSC, the visit represents a strong endorsement of its mission: to connect cutting-edge research in AI and SuperTech with society, industry, and policy \u2014 and to do so from the heart of rural Bavaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
