Recognition highlights HMCI’s work advancing AI innovation and building real-world technology ecosystems across the Greater Sacramento region.
RANCHO CORDOVA, CA, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Human Machine Collaboration Institute (HMCI) has been named a 2026 Sacramento Inno Awards honoree by the Sacramento Business Journal, recognizing the organization’s work advancing artificial intelligence and technology innovation across the Greater Sacramento region.
The recognition comes during a period of significant growth for HMCI as it expands its work across AI research, enterprise transformation, education, and ecosystem development.
A major example is AiR Rancho Cordova, the nation’s first city-driven AI and robotics ecosystem, orchestrated by HMCI in partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova. The initiative brings together industry, government, academia, and workforce development to create an environment where emerging AI and robotics technologies can move from ideas to real-world applications.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because Sacramento is where so much of what we believe about the future of AI is being put into practice,” said Sadie St. Lawrence, Founder and CEO of HMCI. “Innovation happens when businesses, government, researchers, educators, and communities have an environment where they can build together. We’re proud to help create that environment and honored to have our work recognized by the Sacramento Business Journal.”
The award reinforces HMCI’s broader mission to help humans thrive alongside intelligent machines while establishing Greater Sacramento as a region where the future of AI is actively being built.
