AI Week Frankfurt
AI Week Frankfurt is a five-day AI conference that AI Hub Frankfurt runs each autumn. It calls itself "the leading B2B AI conference connecting AI leaders, policy makers, hackers and enthusiasts in Germany's financial capital". One of its days belongs to banking and finance, and partners hold side events around the city during the week. The next edition, AI Week Frankfurt 2026, takes place from October 26 to 30, 2026 at The Squaire.
A conference at Frankfurt Airport
AI Week Frankfurt is organized by AI Hub Frankfurt Rhein-Main, which AI Hub GmbH runs from the Ostend. The conference has been held at The Squaire, the office building above the long-distance station at Frankfurt Airport.
For its last edition, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, which hosted a satellite event, announced more than 5,000 expected participants, 200 speakers and 1,000 companies.
The program days
The week starts with an opening event on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday are cross-industry days, and Thursday is the Banking & Finance day. Friday is the AI Week Hack, with an open Build Floor and an application-only OpenAI Codex Enterprise Hackathon.
AI Week Frankfurt agenda follows the program day by day, and AI Week Frankfurt tickets lists the passes and their prices.
Banks and supervisors at AI Week
The partner list mixes technology and finance: Microsoft, Google and NVIDIA sit next to Commerzbank, Helaba and the Deutsche Bundesbank, and pharma companies such as Merck bring the life science side.
A bank that uses AI to score the creditworthiness of private customers runs a high-risk system under the EU AI Act, with duties on data, documentation and human oversight. The EU AI Act in finance explains those duties, and AI in finance in Frankfurt covers the institutions in the city that work on them.
Side events around AI Week
AI Week Frankfurt has official side events, run by partners at their own venues during the conference week. Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, for example, held talks on AI-supported lectures and on AI in hospital management at its House of Science and Transfer, and Finance Loop held an evening on AI and blockchain in institutional finance.
