Our approach is radically pragmatic. You work with a team of local experts who put your question at the center: what do you want to achieve, what data is available, and where does the real value lie for your organization? Together we explore what’s happening, what’s possible, and what’s needed to create real solutions. No abstract plans but tangible steps that align with the goals of your organisation. From Linked Data and Large Language Models to Causal AI and Computer Vision, we use what’s needed, tailored to your challenge, and focused on delivering the best results.

Whatever your starting point, SmartLab helps you find direction

At the SmartLab, we help organizations across a wide range of sectors apply smart technologies in meaningful ways. You might already have a clear idea of where technology can make a difference — or you may still be exploring what’s possible. Whatever your starting point, we help you ask the right questions and uncover what truly works.

For example, we supported a financial services provider in developing an AI assistant that simplifies complex customer inquiries and supports employees in their daily work. We also designed a solution to automate compliance processes for financial products. In the public sector, we contribute to the development of an AI chat platform, while in the cultural sector we created an interactive exhibition where AI and computer vision deliver a personalized visitor experience.

CGI SmartLab Team

A fusion of young talent and experienced experts

What makes the SmartLab unique is the fusion of young talent and experienced experts. You gain access to fresh ideas and proven methods, all under one roof in the heart of the southern Netherlands.

Our strength lies in our multidisciplinary team that turns innovation into something tangible. In close collaboration with clients, partners and academic institutions, we develop technologies that create real impact. From the first exploration to successful implementation, we guide organizations every step of the way.

A future-ready data platform that creates value

Digital transformation begins with a simple question: is your data in order? At the SmartLab we help organizations gain control of their data landscape through a future ready data platform. At the core of this approach lies Linked Data, structuring and connecting information in meaningful ways based on four key pillars: compliance, quality, lineage and governance. This enables us to integrate data from multiple sources, capture knowledge transparently and use knowledge graphs to make systems and organizations more flexible and compliant.

Once the foundation is in place, the real work begins, creating value from data. By applying advanced technologies we uncover patterns, predict trends and improve processes, always guided by the principles of Responsible AI. We leverage AI and machine learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning and intelligent search to deliver direct value, and draw on Generative and Symbolic AI including Graph RAG, LLMs and Explainable AI to make complex challenges understandable and transparent.
