"The question isn’t why, but rather why not? Why should you not take advantage of AI as a packaging optimization booster?" Gregorio Ossola had the opportunity to share this info at last week's Functional Fiber-Based Materials & Packaging event, where he highlighted how AI can help boost #sustainability, cut costs, and improve #performance — optimizing every aspect of your #packaging to keep organizations ahead in today’s competitive market. Audience feedback emphasized the need for a fresh approach to packaging R&D — something that our AI-driven solutions directly address. By eliminating the traditional trial-and-error method, our data-driven approach opens up far more opportunities for innovation and efficiency. A special thanks to the Centre for Management Technology for hosting us, and the great dinner event afterwards.
