Mission

The mission of Target Field Lab

To enable entrepreneurs to accelerate the development and validation of new data-driven products and services. This is achieved by its expertise and innovative facilities.

Every day we experience the power of data: the growing possibilities of new algorithms, data science and artificial intelligence, enabling new business opportunities. Many small and medium-sized companies in this region wish to benefit from these developments and exploit their availbale datasets, but do not have the expertise nor the facilities to enter this new fascinating world. That's where Target Field Lab is there for you to help create new business!

Take a look at our new brochure for more information about the project.

Unlike the commercially available cloud services, the Field Lab offers easy domain specific access to Artificial Intellligence and data science applications for specific communities, recognizing the different requirements on: protocols, data modeling, data management and flexibility.
