Data Handcraft & AI

On 21 September 2026, DETECT.D – cyberLAGO’s cybersecurity conference – will take place for the first time at the Bodenseeforum in Konstanz. It is aimed at everyone responsible for IT security, from security engineers and IT managers to those in governance, risk and compliance roles.

The Fakeshop-Finder project, developed by the Consumer Advice Center of North Rhine-Westphalia and mindUp, received the 2026 German Prevention Award at the German Prevention Day in Hanover.

The leading conference for artificial intelligence, AIXchange in Singen, was a magnificent package of great keynotes, surprising moments, exciting people, and an incredible amount of AI expertise in one place.

The event at the RITZ Friedrichshafen provided detailed insights into how companies can promote and bring about innovation. Data alone does not create innovation—only its proper use leads to real insights. Data literacy, clear goals, and a realistic approach to AI are decisive factors in the success of companies today.

Today's German Consumer Day in Berlin focused on the future of online retail. Under the motto “Shopping 4.0 – Who pays the price?”, experts from politics, science, and society discussed the challenges of digitalization for consumers. The debate centered on manipulative designs, fake shops, and the role of large advertising platforms.

Exciting experience and great discussions at the award ceremony with over 1000 guests and a total of 9 finalists in three categories.

The sensitive handling of data in AI systems was the subject of a presentation by mindUp Managing Director Ralf Walther. AI in an administrative context triggers specific requirements that must and can be explicitly fulfilled, as became clear in the course of the presentation.
