Porsche AG and Porsche Digital GmbH are launching a global Porsche Digital Campus. The aim is to connect highly qualified students and young professionals in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics and other software technologies with business and science.

The first partner and location of the Porsche Digital Campus is within the Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (Ipai) in Heilbronn, where Europe’s largest ecosystem is being created to bring AI to application.

“We are a highly attractive employer for tech experts. With the Porsche Digital Campus, we will support current and potential employees in their individual development and thus also strengthen our long-term innovative power,” says Andreas Haffner, Member of the Executive Board for Human Resources and Social Affairs at Porsche AG.

Location within Ipai in Heilbronn is the starting point

The Ipai is the ideal location for launching the Porsche Digital Campus. This AI innovation park enables a wide variety of companies, start-ups, research and science as well as actors from the public sector to link up directly with tech companies.

The membership in Ipai is the starting signal for the global Porsche Digital Campus in Heilbronn. Porsche is drawing on its ever-growing network of locations. The plan is to expand the Porsche Digital Campus to further locations in Europe and to at least one location in both North America and Asia.

A wide range of options for talent

Students and young professionals receive targeted and practical support at the Porsche Digital Campus via mentoring programs, seminars, specialist lectures and training sessions. They can also get fascinating insights into many diverse and pioneering digital projects at Porsche with internships, hackathons or doctoral positions in close cooperation with universities and other partners.
