The robotics industry in Massachusetts is targeted for expansion under a partnership announced Thursday between General Electric and MassRobotics, a network of companies, academic institutions and industry organizations.
Under the agreement, GE will partner with MassRobotics to host events and discussions about advanced manufacturing, 3D printing, connected devices, drones and artificial intelligence. MassRobotics plans to help assess and attract startups, research projects and other business opportunities. The partnership is also expected to help GE leverage area resources through its GE Digital Institute, or GEDI project.
MassRobotics is engaged with partners in Ireland, UK, China, Singapore, Chile, France, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. “We are thrilled to welcome GE and its team to MassRobotics’ exceptional network of strategic partners and rapidly growing global ecosystem. GE and its unique commitment to MassRobotics is a significant value-add to our startups,” Fady Saad, MassRobotics cofounder, said in a statement.
