Industry Partners

Industry Partners are a valued part of the InfraAI research community, supporting the center’s mission through unrestricted gifts. The InfraAI Center unites organizations that share our vision for advancing next-generation AI systems research and connects partners with a vibrant network of researchers, students, and peers in the field.

Industry Partners are invited to engage with the InfraAI community through research discussions, student events, and participation in major gatherings such as the Texas AI Symposia and the InfraAI/LDOS Industry Symposium. Partners also stay informed about key research milestones and emerging opportunities for collaboration across academia and industry.

Participation Opportunities

Research Engagement

InfraAI connects industry partners with faculty and research groups exploring topics of shared interest in AI systems. Through these connections, partners stay informed about current research directions, student projects, and emerging opportunities for collaboration. Partners may also be introduced to graduate students working in relevant areas and receive general research updates as part of the InfraAI community.

UT Austin AI Research Interface

Industry partners are invited to explore the UT Austin AI Research Interface, which highlights publicly available and open-source research outputs from InfraAI, LDOS, IFML, and the Center for Generative AI. The interface provides a curated view of research publications, datasets, and tools that reflect the center’s ongoing work and its collaborations across the broader UT Austin AI community.

Graduate Student Summit

Industry partners are invited to participate in the annual Graduate Student Summit, hosted by the Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. The event provides a forum for networking and informal career conversations between students and representatives from academia and industry. Participation supports community-building and helps connect students with the broader AI systems ecosystem at UT Austin.

Promote Internships & Full-Time Positions

Industry partners may share information about internships and full-time positions with the InfraAI community and relevant UT Austin student groups focused on systems and machine learning. These opportunities are distributed through existing university channels, supporting students’ awareness of career pathways and strengthening connections between academia and industry.

Invitations to UT Texas AI Symposia

Industry partners are invited to attend UT Austin’s annual research symposia, including the Texas AIxRobotics Symposium and the InfraAI/LDOS Industry Day. These gatherings feature student poster sessions, research presentations, and thematic workshops that highlight early-stage research and foster dialogue between academia and industry. Participation offers partners an opportunity to engage with the broader AI systems community and stay informed about emerging research directions.

Workshops, Technical Talks, and Networking Events

Industry partners are invited to participate in research-focused events hosted by InfraAI and affiliated centers, including FAI, IFML, and LDOS. These events feature presentations of ongoing and pre-publication research, fostering open exchange and discussion within the academic community. Partners are welcome to attend talks and workshops to stay informed about the latest advances in systems and AI research and to engage with students and faculty.

Acknowledgment of Support

InfraAI publicly recognizes its industry partners on the center’s website and at major events, acknowledging their generous support for advancing research and education in next-generation AI systems. Recognition may include the organization’s name or logo in sections highlighting InfraAI’s partners and contributors.

Sponsored Research

All membership gifts are philanthropic in nature and do not confer contractual benefits, intellectual property rights, or deliverables. Companies seeking directed research or IP-specific outcomes may explore separate sponsored research agreements with The University of Texas and the InfraAI Center.
