Vol.1.0 Pilot Edition Highlights Curated AIoT Projects Across Retail, Industrial, Agricultural, and AI Vision Sectors

The World Alliance for AIoT (WAIA) has launched its Global AIoT Demand & Supply Board (Vol.1.0), a bi-weekly updated platform that connects verified AIoT project demands with capable solution providers worldwide. The first edition showcases projects in retail robotics, industrial automation, smart agriculture, intelligent manufacturing, and AI vision, providing a streamlined pathway for procurement, PoC, and collaboration.

1. Purpose & Background

Over the past six months, WAIA has collected AIoT project requests and collaboration opportunities from global partners. Many of these opportunities were scattered and difficult to access. The Demand & Supply Board consolidates this information, pre-screens projects, and highlights clear proof-of-concept and collaboration pathways. Priority access is provided to WAIA members and certified partners.
