Waterloo Engineering Dean Pearl Sullivan was on hand in Montreal today for the announcement of the first four projects backed by a supercluster created to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to supply chains.

Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence AI (scale ai), a consortium of almost 120 companies, universities, research institutions and other organizations, is a five-year effort supported by $230 million in federal funding, $30 million from the Quebec government and matching industry money.

The University of Waterloo’s renowned artificial intelligence (AI) research and academic programs, including plans to train IT professionals and business executives in the field, received a significant boost today with the federal government’s commitment of $230 million to support the supply chain and logistics excellence consortium led by the SCALE AI supercluster.

Canada’s supply chains will get a powerful new boost from artificial intelligence (AI) as an industry-led network of partners teams up with Waterloo Engineering to help drive economic growth through technological innovation.
