Journee has joined forces with the Karlsrühe Institute of Technology (KIT), manufacturing giant Trumpf and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for Business, Work & Tourism to embark on a groundbreaking new project in the field of AI-supported education.

KIT nova is a first-of-its-kind venture designed to enhance the university experience using the incredible potential of artificial intelligence, virtual spaces, and remote digital collaboration.

 At its core is a dynamic digital twin of the forthcoming KIT nova research building in Karlsrühe, designed to seamlessly connect talent, technology, and industry across both physical and virtual environments. This is paired with a plethora of bespoke Journee technology solutions including an AI-enhanced inspiration & brainstorm room, a hyper-realistic training facility for Trumpf industrial machinery, and a 3D visualisation space for rapid prototyping and feedback.

Previewed at the “XR Expo: Virtuelle Welten” conference on May 8 in Stuttgart, KIT nova reimagines the technical education experience through a fully interactive 3D environment enhanced with industry-leading AI learning tools.​

Powered by Journee's patented immersive web technology, the project bridges infrastructure with innovation, opening new pathways for learning, collaboration, and advancement to students, education professionals, and commercial partners.​

The project is due for full launch in 2026. Make sure to sign up for the Journee newsletter to keep informed of further developments.
