The agreement will enable the development of AI projects, training programs, and joint activities to strengthen the sector
Valencia, October 3, 2024 – AIMPLAS, the Technological Research Center for Plastic Materials and Related Industries, and the Valencian Graduate School and Research Network of Artificial Intelligence Foundation (ValgrAI), have signed a Framework Collaboration Agreement that establishes the basis for promoting research and development in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in the plastic materials sector.
This agreement aims to leverage the resources and knowledge of both entities to promote innovative projects, training programs, research, and other joint activities.The agreement represents a strategic alliance between two leading institutions in their respective fields, as both entities recognize the importance of AI in the future of plastic materials and other industrial sectors, and through this agreement, they commit to working together to enhance its development.
Impact on the plastics sector
The agreement establishes a broad framework for collaboration that will materialize in various initiatives. These include the promotion of joint artificial intelligence projects, the implementation of courses, training programs, seminars, and conferences, as well as researcher stays and joint scientific publications. The common goal is to generate a significant impact in the field of artificial intelligence applied to plastic materials, with a focus on innovation and sustainability.
One of the highlights of the agreement is ValgrAI’s commitment to promote continuous training in artificial intelligence among AIMPLAS staff, its associated companies, and clients, offering exclusive discounts on their training programs. This will allow companies in the plastics sector to improve their skills in the use of AI, a key area for improving competitiveness and adapting to future challenges.
Within the framework of this collaboration, ValgrAI will include AIMPLAS and its associates in the “Artificial Intelligence Innovation Alliance” (AIIA), an innovation community created to promote the exchange of knowledge and technology in the field of artificial intelligence. This alliance will allow AIMPLAS members to connect with other innovative entities, both at academic and business levels, fostering the creation of collaborations and the development of joint projects in the Valencian innovation ecosystem.
Another pillar of the agreement is cooperation in the training of professionals. Thanks to this agreement, AIMPLAS will be able to offer its associates and clients preferential access to ValgrAI’s training programs, which will contribute to strengthening the sector’s capabilities in the application of artificial intelligence. In addition, the collaboration will allow the development of specific activities in sector events and celebrations that promote the use of AI as a key tool in the digital transformation of the plastics industry.
With this agreement, AIMPLAS and ValgrAI hope to consolidate a fruitful collaboration that not only drives innovation in the plastics sector but also serves as an example of cooperation between academia and business in the application of artificial intelligence.
Both entities are confident that this alliance will allow further progress in the research and application of new technologies, thus contributing to a more innovative and sustainable future for the plastic materials sector.
