Founded by Kevin Holmes, the AI Accelerator Hub is co-located in the Social Innovation Lab and an Algonquin College Applied Research initiative. People. Process. Technology. That's how we work, and how everything we ship gets built. Powered by AWS. We are grateful for the support and encouragement from the fine folks at AWS Canada.
