Nordhorn Adopts AI Quick Check, Offering Local Businesses Concrete AI Insights
The city of Nordhorn has taken a significant step forward in digitalization, adopting the AI Quick Check from the Mittelstand-Digital Center Lingen.Münster.Osnabrück. This free service is now available to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the city, aiming to provide concrete impulses for getting started with artificial intelligence.
The AI Quick Check was officially launched on a joint occasion, attended by Mayor Thomas Berling, Michael Schnaider (the consortial leader of the Mittelstand-Digital Center), Alexander Bose (digitalization coach), and Niels Schockemöhle (digitalization coordinator of the city of Nordhorn).
SMEs in Nordhorn can arrange individual appointments with Niels Schockemöhle at any time, or during the action days with fixed dates. The action days are scheduled for September 16, 2025, and October 7, 2025, with times specified. These action days can take place at the city hall of Nordhorn or at the company upon request.
During the one-hour individual discussion, goals, data situation, technology knowledge, and existing competencies are analysed. After the discussion, participants receive a compact result report with practical assessments and pointers to free follow-up support offers.
The AI Quick Check is designed to help businesses seeking initial impulses for AI use or aiming to expand or strategically scale existing AI applications. Michael Schnaider, the consortial leader, hopes that other cities and municipalities in the region will follow Nordhorn's example in integrating the AI Quick Check into their support offers.
The Mittelstand-Digital Center is also available to help other economic development agencies integrate the AI Quick Check. The center, which collaborates with partners like Hochschule Osnabrück, Universität Münster, and others, has successfully advised other cities and municipalities through the integration of the AI Quick Check. However, specific names of these cities and municipalities are not listed in the available sources.

With the adoption of the AI Quick Check, Nordhorn becomes the first municipality in the region to permanently institutionalize the offer, establishing a solid foundation for the introduction, expansion, or strategic further development of AI applications in a company.
