The release coincides with the AI, Data, and Quantum Summit (AIDAQ) in Berlin. \u201cWith AI, we are witnessing the transition from the experimental phase to widespread adoption. AI applications are being used in companies of all sizes and across all industries. They make products better and processes faster,\u201d says Bitkom President Dr. Ralf Wintergerst.<\/p>\n

AI software accounts for the largest share of spending at 16.0 billion euros, an increase of 65 percent. AI-related services account for 6.8 billion euros (up 30 percent), while hardware accounts for 5.8 billion euros (up 32 percent). The market is also expected to grow strongly in the coming year: According to IDC, spending of 40.3 billion euros is expected for 2027, an increase of 40 percent.<\/p>\n
