On September 28-29, 2023, Oracle Academy staff attended the Aco-Tec University Conference in Vienna, an event for the education, research, and science sector, especially aimed at those responsible for information technology.

At the conference, the Oracle Red Bull racing simulator made available for educators and technology experts to enjoy. Red Bull develops their cars in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and uses OCI for real-time race management.
