ZeroEyes, creators of multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, partnered with Academic Innovators, a solutions provider solving the programs, governance and facilities challenges facing American higher education. The alliance enables the two companies to combine complementary strengths to help higher education institutions navigate both long-term transformation and immediate safety challenges through a referral program.

Academic Innovators’ multidisciplinary approach brings together a network of partners and professionals across the higher education ecosystem, including edtech providers, legal experts, financial advisors, investment bankers and public policy specialists to develop forward-looking solutions for evolving institutional needs. The industry insiders and strategic collaborators help colleges and universities anticipate change, navigate complexity and proactively shape their future with confidence.

By uniting a future-focused advisory approach with ZeroEyes’ advanced threat detection and real-time response capabilities, the collaboration empowers institutions to better anticipate threats, enhance preparedness and respond with confidence in an increasingly complex environment.

“We are pleased to partner with ZeroEyes to provide integrated solutions that not only help higher education leaders navigate evolving operational and financial pressures, but also enhance campus safety and resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape,” said Dr. Brian C. Mitchell, managing principal and president, Academic Innovators, and past president, Washington & Jefferson College and Bucknell University.

ZeroEyes delivers an integrated suite of AI-powered analytics and security tools, including capabilities such as weapons detection, real-time threat geolocation and more, designed to enhance preparedness, accelerate threat identification and enable effective response. It provides real-time, actionable intelligence on the illegal brandishing of weapons, such as guns and knives, in or near occupied spaces, alerting local staff and law enforcement with images and precise location data, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a gun is detected.

“By combining our proactive safety technology with Academic Innovators’ forward-looking, multidisciplinary expertise, we’re helping institutions respond to threats faster and plan more effectively for a safer, more resilient future,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder, ZeroEyes. “We are proud to partner with them.”
