Driving Positive Change: VRVis joins AIM Global to help shape the future of AI in the industry

Vienna, 6 February, 2024– VRVis is a member of the AIM Global initiative, the Global Alliance on Artificial Intelligence for Industry and Manufacturing. This partnership represents the research center’s commitment to advancing the safe, sustainable and inclusive use of AI in industry and manufacturing.
