The Centre of Excellence on AI marks an important step in strengthening BIMTECH’s commitment to technology-driven and experiential learning. Our aim is to equip students and the wider academic community with the capabilities to learn, build and innovate in an increasingly AI-driven world.”

The programme covered AI fundamentals, the generative AI ecosystem, Google AI studio, Google antigravity, Google cloud credits and resources, and live project development and deployment.

They also participated in hands-on activities, interactive learning and project development exercises, and gained practical exposure to AI tools and technologies, learning how to take their ideas from concept to working solutions.

Participants explored problem areas including MedTech, FinTech, EdTech and Open Innovation, identifying real-world challenges where AI and emerging technologies could create meaningful impact.

The open-ended format encouraged teams to think creatively, collaborate and develop innovative, scalable solutions, the institute said.
