We are a research and development center operating in the field of artificial intelligence and digital economy, whose mission is to support the development of these technologies in Poland by creating a platform connecting the academic and business environment.
Our goal is to build the largest platform in Poland friendly to conducting innovative research, as well as educating a new generation of scientists focused on the practical application of the developed algorithms and their subsequent commercialization in industry, finance, medicine and other branches of the economy.
Cooperation between scientists and business is a key element in supporting technological and economic progress. Thanks to this partnership, science ceases to be only a theoretical field and becomes a driving force for social and economic development. Scientists, working side by side with entrepreneurs, can focus on conducting practical research that translates into real solutions and products. It is these innovations implemented by enterprises that contribute to economic growth, creating new jobs and improving the quality of life. The cooperation of science and business thus allows for a synergistic effect that not only broadens the horizons of knowledge, but also pushes enterprises and society towards continuous development.
Mission and vision
MISSIONWe create innovative solutions in the field of artificial intelligence that are important for business, economy and society. We educate a new generation of scientists focused on the practical application of developed algorithms and their subsequent commercialization.
