Data Intelligence

The Research Centre Data Intelligence explores the world of data and smart technology. We’re constantly finding new ways to apply data in practical solutions that help Limburg and the EU region move forward. Our focus is on projects with a social impact – from smart tools for everyday life to technology that makes a real difference in professional environments. We design and test data-driven innovations, such as intuitive software and technology, supporting people in their personal and working lives.

The research centre has its own website with more information on various projects: dilab.nl

  • Mission

    Our mission is to develop and test smart, data-driven solutions. Think of software and technology designed to make everyday life a bit easier. Together with students, researchers, citizens, companies, and government organisations, we work in co-creation on practical applications in socially relevant sectors. We focus on technology that works and adds value – solutions that are immediately applicable and contribute to Zuyd's knowledge base. At the same time, we train future-proof professionals and strengthen the EU region’s innovation power. Our work supports the study programmes in HBO-ICT, Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, and Industrial Engineering. Additionally, we contribute to Zuyd's goals and the ambitions of the Brightlands Smart Services Campus.
