Rackspace partners with HTCE on AI

Rackspace Technology claims to have become the first managed service provider to develop a partnership agreement with the AI Innovation Centre of High Tech Campus Eindhoven (HTCE).

For those who came in late, HTCE is deemed “the smartest square km in Europe” which is an ecosystem of nearly 300 tech companies and home to more than 12,500 international researchers, developers, businesspeople, innovators, and engineers devoted to knowledge sharing.

HTCE is a global tech incubator in Health & Vitality, Sustainability, Applied Intelligence, Smart Environments and Connectivity, and Software & Platforms.

Rackspace will be part of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Centre of HTCE, which opened in April 2021 to industrialise AI in the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands. The AI Innovation Centre and its partners help companies start and accelerate their AI journey.

The AI Centre is home to 13 AI-specialised companies and a wide variety of industrial and knowledge partners and was co-founded by Philips, Signify, NXP, and ASML.

Rackspace Public Cloud President D K Sinha, said activities within this partnership would raise the level of AI knowledge, facilitate the ecosystem, driving projects, and offering relevant services to boost the adoption of AI while connecting companies, professionals, entrepreneurs, and students.
