AI consulting in the Osnabrück economic region — Seven cities, one contact person.

We currently have seven locally based AI consulting websites for Osnabrück, Bramsche, Ibbenbüren, Melle, Lingen (Ems), Münster, and Bielefeld—each with its own industry examples, local funding information, and frequently asked questions from the region. Of course, we also travel to all other cities within a 100-km radius of Westerkappeln/Osnabrück. If your city isn't listed, just let us know—we'll still come to you.

Three things: First, we come from the region and know the local SME structures from day-to-day experience, not from studies. Second, we use AI ourselves with our own software (Agent Manager) – we won't recommend anything that doesn't work for us. Third, we start with a real-world process and a 6-8 week pilot project instead of half a year of strategy presentations. BAFA subsidizes the initial consultation and project start-up up to 50% (%).

The initial 15-minute consultation is followed—if there's a good fit—by a longer introductory meeting. Afterward, we handle the BAFA application (50 % funding for initial consultation and project launch). In our experience, BAFA approval is often granted within a few days. A first productive AI pilot project is therefore measurably operational after six to eight weeks.

For SMEs in Lower Saxony, BAFA funding is available nationwide, as are NBank programs statewide (Digitalbonus.Niedersachsen-innovativ, which expired at the end of 2025 – succeeded by nIFP up to €100,000 and NInnP up to €500,000), and, depending on the region, WIGOS or the Ems-Achse growth region. For SMEs in North Rhine-Westphalia, BAFA funding plus the NRW.BANK programs are available – in particular Mittelstand Innovativ & Digital (MID), which, since January 1, 2026, has a clear focus on AI/ML and offers grants of up to €15,000. We review the funding mix daily and handle the application process.
