“Sie & KI”: The second wave of the event series kicks off now in Lower Austria

In Lower Austria, “SIE & KI” is moving into its next phase: Following a strong start in May with around 200 participants and the first workshops in Tulln, Wiener Neustadt, Krems and Wieselburg, the next series of events will begin in September. Four additional dates across two regions have been confirmed: the Industrieviertel region, including Schwechat and Wiener Neustadt, and the Weinviertel region, including Hollabrunn and Mistelbach. Participation is free, but registration is required.

At the heart of this series of events is the partnership between ecoplus Haus der Digitalisierung and Frau in der Wirtschaft Niederösterreich. This collaboration is complemented by partnerships with the federal initiative SHE GOES AI and Women in AI Austria. This brings together regional networking, practical business experience, and specialized AI expertise.

Each event consists of two coordinated formats. The first item on the program is the “Awareness” format “By Women. For the Future,” which provides an accessible introduction to the opportunities, responsibilities, and fair use of artificial intelligence. Through interactive elements, myth-busting, and a fishbowl discussion, Julia Eisner—Vice President of Women in AI Austria and AI Expert & Academic Collaboration Lead at AI Factory Austria—invites participants to think critically and join the conversation.

“With the ‘SIE & KI’ event series, we’re bringing the topic of artificial intelligence directly to the regions of Lower Austria. What’s crucial to us is that participants don’t just talk about AI, but can try out for themselves how to use the technology effectively in their daily professional and business lives. That’s exactly why we’re working with our partners to create concrete, easily accessible opportunities,” explain Lukas Reutterer and Claus Zeppelzauer, managing directors of the Haus der Digitalisierung.  

“Women in Business Lower Austria” aims to make AI knowledge tangible through this event series, showcase practical applications, and simultaneously strengthen collaboration across the regions. “Many female entrepreneurs are already using artificial intelligence in their daily work. With our ‘SIE & KI’ event series, we now want to take it a step further: deepen our knowledge, explore concrete applications, and learn from one another. For me, the key is not simply to use AI, but to use it in a targeted and resource-efficient way—where it takes work off our hands, streamlines processes, and creates real added value in our day-to-day business operations,” says Vera Sares, regional chairwoman of “Women in Business Lower Austria.”
