An AI Adoption Program, Not Just Learning
While global competitors accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, only 3.7% of Canadian manufacturers are currently using AI to boost productivity, efficiency, or decision-making.
This gap puts the entire sector at risk of falling behind.
That’s where Bold New Edge steps in.
Our 8-week, hands-on AI adoption program is built for decision-makers in manufacturing. It’s designed to close the AI knowledge gap, uncover strategic opportunities, increase productivity, and build the confidence leaders need to thrive in a tech-driven future. More than just training, we aim to catalyze a fundamental shift in how Canadian leaders use AI—turning potential into exponential business impact.
