New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy joined Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber and representatives from Microsoft, CoreWeave, and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to officially open the NJ AI Hub, a state-of-the-art, flexible space designed to foster innovation in artificial intelligence.
The new facility, located in space provided by the University on Alexander Road in West Windsor, attracted a standing-room-only crowd for the ribbon cutting. State and University officials were joined by representatives from the AI industry, New Jersey’s higher education and business communities, and local government.
“With the opening of the NJ AI Hub, we are moving forward in establishing New Jersey as a global leader in technology and innovation,” Murphy said in a news release. “By partnering with one of the world’s greatest academic and research institutions — along with industry leaders like Microsoft and CoreWeave — we are paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries and a new generation of economic growth that will create good-paying, sustainable jobs for the people of New Jersey. Together, we are building a stronger, more prosperous future for our residents and businesses alike.”
In bringing the Hub to fruition, state leaders worked closely with University Vice President and Secretary Hilary Parker, Provost Jennifer Rexford, Senior Strategic AI Hub Project Manager in the Office of the Provost Jeffrey Oakman, Dean for Research Peter Schiffer, Vice Dean for Innovation Craig Arnold, Assistant Vice President of State Affairs David Reiner and University Director of Real Estate Curt Emmich, who were all in attendance at the event.
