think tank Research and Innovation Initiatives
for a better future
Research and innovation are crucial to finding new solutions to social, technological and environmental challenges. They not only promote economic growth, but also improve the quality of life and drive progress in science and technology. They also help to ensure competitiveness and support sustainable developments.
AILAC – focussed solution initiatives
Real research and development is only possible when ideas are dedicated and a strong commitment to long-term innovation initiatives and projects is shown.
We believe that it is the role of small companies to be a source of innovation and to develop solutions that go beyond the state of the art and are based on new and provocative thinking.
This is our definition of a think tank and the reason why we decided to set up our own AI lab, AILAC, in Tunis, where we develop ground-breaking solutions.

Strategic industry initiatives
We believe in collective intelligence, which is why we pursue strategic, long-term research and development initiatives together with our business partners and customers. The complexity of digital technologies requires the coming together of many minds to develop truly new, ground-breaking technologies and solutions. For this reason, we are pursuing multi-year initiatives focussing on AI and digital transformation technologies with major industry partners and, in some cases, with large cross-industry consortia:
- One of our key research projects involves the development of high-performance edge intelligence cameras. The use of such cameras is essential for automotive vehicles and machines. The camera takes over the evaluation of the image information through to scene recognition and provides decision information to the central model of the mobile unit or machine.
- Another innovation project focuses on intelligent agents that provide end-to-end support for design and development processes in the electronics and automotive industries. On the one hand, this relieves employees of the exponentially increasing design complexity and, on the other, greatly reduces errors or inefficiencies in the design and manufacturing process.
- A project looking further into the future is concerned with the integration of universal edge intelligence in semiconductor products. In-silicone intelligence will make it possible to make all digital products more efficient and effective throughout their entire life cycle or to extend the life cycle. The goal here is software-defined silicone products.
“As a pioneer of digital transformation, it is a matter of course for us to work with partners on research projects so that we are always at the cutting edge or ahead of the curve.”
