Precise ParkLink’s marketing manager, Maria Lato, had the honour of being a panelist on the AI HUB panel, and represented Durham College’s Office of Research Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (ORSIE) industry partners.
“Precise ParkLink is very proud to be an ORSIE industry partner,” said Lato. “Our partnership with ORSIE is going on five years, and since day one has been very beneficial and a win-win for all parties. With its endless Research and Development visions, ORSIE helps Precise ParkLink stay on track and improve the parking and urban mobility space.”
“ORSIE’s students develop from-the-ground-up projects and show Precise ParkLink where to allocate required resources so they can be integrated into the world for internal and external use. Students get the chance to work on real-world projects that are overseen by mentors in their field, which provides the possibility of securing full-time employment once students are ready to enter the workforce.”

Precise ParkLink is proud to foster a relationship with ORSIE. And the feeling is mutual.
“Precise ParkLink’s collaboration with Durham College over the last five years has been so important in several ways,” said Debbie McKee Demczyk, the dean of ORSIE.
“It offers real-world work experience where students can work in teams, problem solve, present their work, and participate in events. It’s even provided employment to two students! Faculty research leads have had the opportunity to contribute their expertise, and be a part of Precise ParkLink’s culture of innovation. We are honoured to work with you, and look forward to what’s next!”
Precise ParkLink is honoured to have been invited to Durham College’s 2019 Academic Kickoff and is looking forward to continuing its relationship with Durham College, ORSIE, and its students.
