The Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation (WRS) uses one of the Region’s strength and embedded an automatic computer based chat-programme into its main website: The so-called “Regionaut” – the Stuttgart Region’s figure – answers questions companies and regional stakeholders might have related to support measurements during the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides “first aid” questions, such as immediate financial support – the digital assistant provides all kind of useful information for start-ups, SME’s, freelancers and bigger companies.
The bot was developed together with “Neohelden GmbH”, a start-up, which was supported by the funding programme “M.Tech Accelerator”. Regional enterprises, public entities or media are welcome to embed the “Regionout” into their websites as well.
