AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (January 02, 2022) – The Meta Model Creator, Lalaland’s latest AI-powered industry-revolutionizing breakthrough, will debut at CES 2022.

“Lalaland also combats exploitation and helps reduce carbon emissions by decreasing return rates by at least 10%. The largest impact comes through Lalaland’s tech ability to deliver social empowerment and sustainability at scale,”added Smeeman. “We are excited to showcase these features and our mission at CES.”
