From Real-Time Data to Decisions: Concrete Use Cases from Bavaria for Digitalization, Manufacturing, and Mobility

On October 5, 2026, the Bavarian Data Summit will bring together leading figures from industry, technology, research, and politics at the Design Offices München Macherei. The focus will be on how real-time data and AI enable concrete decisions —and thereby reshape value creation in manufacturing and mobility. The program combines strategic insights on leadership, infrastructure , and digital sovereignty with concrete use cases from Bavaria that demonstrate how data-driven systems are already making a difference in practice today—from the connected factory to smart mobility systems. A special focus is on cross-industry exchange: The summit highlights what production and mobility can learn from each other and how data-driven applications can be scaled along the value chain. Here, providers of data, AI, cloud, and infrastructure solutions will meet with users from OEMs, suppliers, and mobility tech companies, as well as representatives from academia and applied research. Together, they will provide guidance in an increasingly complex data landscape—and demonstrate how data can be transformed into reliable decisions in real time.
