AI at Work: The Future of Industrial Construction
Robert Dong (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertdong-ai/), founder of Jobotics (https://jobotics.ai/) will showcase how his AI platform is redefining industrial construction. By transforming fragmented project data into real-time insights across the organization, Jobotics empowers contractors to make faster, smarter decisions on the ground.
For investors: the platform opens exposure to a $1.8T industry primed for automation, with scalable applications across the full lifecycle of construction.
For construction industry players: Jobotics functions as an AI-powered answer engine, streamlining operations, reducing waste, tightening schedules, and unlocking new growth levers.
For AI builders and entrepreneurs: it represents the future of how AI can embed into essential industries, not replacing expertise, but amplifying it.
