+The Bavarian AI Act Accelerator is a two-year project funded by the Bavarian
+State Ministry of Digital Affairs to support SMEs, start-ups, and the public
+sector in Bavaria in complying with the EU AI Act. Under the leadership of the
+appliedAI Institute for Europe and in collaboration with Ludwig Maximilian
+University, the Technical University of Munich, and the Technical University of
+Nuremberg, training, resources, and events are being offered. The project
+objectives include reducing compliance costs, shortening the time to compliance,
+and strengthening AI innovation. To achieve these objectives, the project is
+divided into five work packages: project management, research, education, tools
+and infrastructure, and community.
