The hub will be headed by Charles Sheridan, Chief AI and Data Officer, and Julian Geiger, Vice President AI Product and Transformation, who will be joining the Group from Google this month. 

The Nemetschek Group aims to ensure that AI technologies benefit individuals, organizations, and society as a whole while minimising potential risks and negative impacts.

The AI Innovation Hub intends to customise AI solutions and products to meet user needs across the entire building lifecycle and the media and entertainment industry.

The newly created AI Innovation Hub will focus on driving AI initiatives across the brand portfolio, working with partners, alliances, and users.

The Nemetschek Group says that they plan to expedite product development, testing, and exploring the deployment of AI tools like AI Visualizer (a new feature in Archicad, Allplan, and Vectorworks), 3D Drawings (part of Bluebeam Cloud), and the dTwin platform to help users increase efficiency and sustainability in their processes.

“Our mission has always been to lead the way in innovation, especially in AEC/O and media & entertainment industries, and this AI Innovation Hub will take us a step further”, says Marc Nézet, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Division Officer of Operate & Manage.

“I am very happy that we have two renowned experts join the team. Together we strive for an ethical AI, protecting creativity and intellectual property rights, and designing and building sustainably and responsibly.”
