As 2025 comes to a close, we are pleased to thank to all the members and invited partners to participate in our Annual Industrial AI Forum (hosted at Synopsys Inc HQ) on Dec. 5-6 in partnerships with Monte Jade West Science & Technology Association. The reception was held at Stanford Faculty Club at Stanford University.
We had our closed-door meeting on Dec. 5 with sharing sessions by our Industrial AI Center members, partners, and invited guests. This year, we have demonstrated many important technologies and tools to create scalable Industrial AI platforms, leveraging agentic and generative AI in real industrial settings. We also introduced our Industrial Physical AI successful use cases in partnerships with our members. Thanks to the invited members and partners including Apple, AMT Alpha X ASE Group Bright Machine CIMForce COSMODOT Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) FTC Flex GESTAMP Spain Komatsu LatticWork Mitsubishi Electric Mazak Supermicro Sciath AI UMC Winbond Western Digital Accenture Industry X as well as invited academic and research institutions including ARTC/SIMTech, Singapore, UFRGS, Brazil, ITRI North America, Johns Hopkins University, NREL, NTU Singapore, Univ. of Oslo, Norway, Stanford Univ., VICOMTECH, Spain, and Machine Learning: Engineering, IOP Publishing.
