OccupancyAI, the latest breakthrough from Cohesion, adds a predictive dimension to this robust suite.

Investing in collaborative spaces and smart building solutions is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of the future of real estate. Cohesion's OccupancyAI not only signifies a pivotal leap in predictive AI for smart buildings but also underscores the critical role these innovations play in stimulating a seamless return to office spaces. As the landscape of work evolves, Cohesion helps companies like mHUB redefine the office environment and create connected and intelligent spaces. The launch of OccupancyAI marks a transformative moment in the industry and as a first adopter, mHUB has affirmed its commitment to accelerating the adoption of technological innovations.

"We are proud to be partnering with mHUB to launch OccupancyAI," said Cohesion CEO, Thru Shivakumar. "This launch is a confirmation of mHUB’s visionary approach of empowering not only the Chicago tech community, but all entrepreneurs by creating a new standard for how spaces need to change and adapt to the future of workplaces.
