Published: 16 February 2018

McGill University will participate in two of the five “superclusters” selected by the Government of Canada for funding under its Innovation Superclusters Initiative.

One initiative entitled, AI-Powered Supply Chains Supercluster (SCALE.AI), will unite researchers from the Faculties of Engineering, Management and Science, as well as those from the Bensadoun Retail Initiative. Their work will bridge the retail, manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, and information and communications technology sectors to build intelligent supply chains through artificial intelligence and robotics.
