CoStrategix is excited to announce its partnership with The Circuit to launch the ground-breaking Proving Ground program, an innovative initiative designed to transform AI use case ideas from Greater Cincinnati organizations into tangible Proofs of Concept (POCs). This program offers a unique opportunity for local businesses to bring their visionary ideas to life, driving technological advancement and economic growth in the region. “Proving Ground: Where Ideas Meet Reality” is set to revolutionize how businesses approach AI-driven innovation. Based on a competitive application process, The Circuit will sponsor and support a select number of business opportunities. The program aims to provide the necessary resources and expertise to turn innovative concepts into practical, real-world applications. CoStrategix, a leader in AI consulting and development, is thrilled to collaborate with The Circuit on this initiative. By leveraging its extensive experience and cutting-edge technology, CoStrategix will be responsible for building out some of the proofs of concept. This collaboration ensures that the innovative ideas generated through Proving Ground are not only viable but also impactful and scalable. “We are proud to partner with The Circuit on the Proving Ground program,” said Nandagopal, Jayaram, CoStrategix CEO. “Our goal is to bridge the gap between visionary ideas and reality. Through this program, we aim to empower local businesses, foster innovation, and drive economic growth in Greater Cincinnati.” The Proving Ground program invites applications from businesses of all sizes and industries within the Greater Cincinnati area. The program is designed to foster a collaborative environment where businesses can experiment, innovate, and ultimately succeed in implementing AI solutions. “The Circuit aims to unite the IT Community to connect and collaborate,” said Tracy Ruberg, Executive Director at The Circuit. “With more and more hype surrounding enterprise AI, technology leaders are hard-pressed to separate signal from noise.
