Vitro Architectural Glass has announced the launch of Vitro X™ Innovation Partnerships, a new strategic partnership programme focused on identifying and developing inspired solutions to existing and future challenges in the glass industry.

As an incubator for innovation, Vitro X enables collaboration with future-focused companies as an early investor to support their work and shepherd groundbreaking ideas, including new functionalities and services to building owners and homeowners, from the drawing board to the production line, installation, maintenance and beyond.

“Vitro X allows Vitro to become a hands-on partner with progressive companies that have the power to influence glass in some way, with an innovative, non-traditional approach,” said Martin Bracamonte, vice president, marketing & innovation, Vitro Architectural Glass.

The first partnership to be announced through the Vitro X is with AERAS, which operates advanced drones that have the capacity to serve as an alternative to traditional commercial window and glass façade washing to support both building owners/operators and facility managers.

With additional development support and marketing services offered through Vitro X, AERAS’ products may also serve as alternatives to traditional commercial window washing and be used for servicing solar energy fields with aerial cleaning technology.
