We were pleased to welcome a delegation from Piemonte, Italy, to York University this week for an introductory discussion on potential collaboration opportunities, particularly in the areas of AI and innovation.
The visit offered a valuable opportunity to introduce the delegation to York’s broad ecosystem and to highlight the university’s strengths in research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry connections. We were glad to have contributions from Amir Asif and Pina D'Agostino from York University - Research & Innovation, Nafis Ahmed from YSpace, York University, Joseph Turcotte, PhD from the IP Innovation Clinic, Caitlin Mullin from Connected Minds CFREF, and Professor Jinjun Shan, who welcomed the delegation to the Autonomous Systems Lab for a closer look at York’s work in this space. We also appreciated the role of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in helping facilitate this exchange.
It was a useful first exchange to explore shared interests and potential avenues for future collaboration.
