At our second Munich Career Fair AI & Data Science, we again connected students and doctoral researchers with the Munich Data Science Institute (MDSI) and relAI industry partners. The event gave students from TUM and LMU the opportunity to explore career paths and speak directly with company representatives working in artificial intelligence and data science.
The Career Fair AI & Data Science took place at TranslaTUM on 29 October 2026. 14 industry partners introduced the various career options and research fields that Master’s and PhD students could pursue at their companies. Organized by the Munich Data Science Institute (MDSI), the Konrad Zuse School of Excellence in Reliable AI (relAI), and the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML), the event connected the brightest minds in the Data Science ecosystem. To sum up the goal of our Career Fair in the words of Timo Schirmers (PhD, GE HealthCare): “Build a network!”
From AI in healthcare to smart retail
The participating companies gave short presentations providing insights into their work, exciting current AI and data science projects, and career opportunities. The industry partners covered a broad range of applications, including computer vision, reliable AI, credit risk modeling, smart retail, cybersecurity, accounting data, healthcare, and industry AI.
After the presentations, the focus was on personal exchange. Students and doctoral researchers took the opportunity to meet company representatives in the TranslaTUM foyer for more in-depth conversations.
Promising conversations between talents and companies
The strong interest went both ways. The participating companies were very happy with the students’ high level of qualification and their strong interest in AI and data science. Company representatives reported many promising conversations with students and doctoral researchers, highlighting the quality of the exchanges and the audience's enthusiasm.
The students, on the other hand, were very happy to gain firsthand insights and experiences across so many branches of AI applications. They made extensive use of networking opportunities to build personal contacts and to connect in this encouraging format.
The Munich Career Fair AI & Data Science 2026 once again provided a valuable platform to bring together highly qualified talent and industry, creating opportunities for personal connections and broadening perspectives on future careers and collaborations in AI and data science.
