We are proud to share that MetaWorldX has successfully graduated from the 2024/25 cohort of CDL Montréal’s Artificial Intelligence stream. This achievement reflects the rigor and quality of work undertaken throughout the program and underscores MetaWorldX’s commitment to building a scalable, AI-driven platform at the cutting edge of digital twin technology.
