hessian.AI turns its map of Hesse's AI startups into a live register, aigude.ai

Nov 12, 2026
The platform combines Dealroom data, company websites and research databases into a continuously updated register of the German state's AI startups and researchers.

hessian.AI, the Hessian Center for Artificial Intelligence, has launched aigude.ai, a continuously updated register of AI startups and research in the German state of Hesse, according to an announcement. It replaces the annual AI Startup Landscape Hessen snapshots published in 2024 and 2025.

The register combines public sources such as Dealroom and company websites with information submitted by startups and researchers, while research data comes from the OpenAlex and DBLP databases. The hessian.AI team reviews new submissions before they go live, and personal contact details are not shown publicly. Companies can already submit use cases so the AI Startup Rising team can match them with startups for pilot projects, and the register will later add talent and corporate use cases.

aigude already supports applications and selection for hessian.AI's LAISF and RISING startup programmes. Two webinars on 26 November and 3 December will show how policymakers, media and startups can use it.
