Constructor Tech at I2DM Summit 2024: Advancing computational research in materials science

28 November, 2024

From November 25-28, the I2DM Summit 2024 at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi brought together leaders and researchers from materials science, manufacturing, data science, and fields beyond. As a Platinum Sponsor, Constructor Tech was proud to have had the opportunity to showcase our AI solutions for advancing computational research and education.

Event highlights

AI Conference Assistant

Constructor Tech debuted at the I2DM Summit with the Constructor Model AI Conference Assistant, an intelligent tool designed to improve event participation.

The model uses different AI-based engines to improve conference logistics by providing instant access to all conference information. Participants simply asked the AI Assistant any conference-related question, they could upload and organize documents, or plan their time at the conference.

The conference featured over 100 presentations, including keynotes, plenary sessions, workshops, and oral presentations. These covered a wide range of topics related to 2D materials, such as their synthesis, applications in energy and electronics, and advancements in manufacturing techniques.

More than 70% of I2DM participants got answers to well over 400 questions when seeking assistance from the AI conference model.
