This is a bit hard to say without knowing more about your background, of course :). In Germany, there is a high demand from industry not only for people working on AI topics (duh!), but also in systems (OS, hypervisors, compilers, low-level security, etc.). A good starting point, of course, would be to contact companies you collaborated with, for example in the context of an EU project. A professional network might also help to get in touch with relevant companies, for my area of research this would be HiPEAC (https://www.hipeac.net https://www.hipeac.net). Since I'm working in systems, the high demand for graduates from industry makes it very difficult for me - as well as a number of my colleagues in Germany - to find PhD students. This is a bit frustrating, but I'm at least lucky to have very motivated students and TAs in my courses - though the number of students who want to work on advanced systems topics (for example, we are developing a microkernel in Rust for RISC-V in the context of a student project) is rather low right now.
