Empower AI has launched a joint venture company and mentor-protégé relationship with AmeriinfoVets Inc.
AI-Vets is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business and TERO-certified Native American firm, specializing in diverse technology solutions like application development and engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity and infrastructure for federal and commercial organizations.
The joint venture company between the two organizations is called Sugarloaf Technologies LLC. Under the 3-year agreement, Empower AI will provide assistance and share best practices with AI-Vets in areas of technology, management and technical assistance, engineering, business development, strategic counsel, contracting and general administration support.
“Partnering with AI-Vets is a great fit with Empower AI on many levels, including culturally with our shared perspective of supporting military and veteran initiatives,” said Empower AI President and CEO Paul A. Dillahay. “It’s also a great opportunity to collaborate with the AI-Vets team and take AI solutions to another level for our government clients.”
Empower AI and AI-Vets will collaborate on new AI technology and initiatives that can support current and new government clients, such as the departments of Defense and Health and Human Services and the General Services Administration.
“This is an exciting endeavor for both organizations,” said AI-Vets President and Chief Technology Officer Mahesh Kalva, who will also act as the lead manager for Sugarloaf Technologies. “Not only will both organizations learn and grow from the experience, but our mutual clients will significantly benefit from our combined strength.”
