Data science

Increases in computing power and data storage capacity across the globe have resulted in businesses generating and storing huge volumes of data. However, despite its economic and social value, this data remains a largely untapped resource. The Advanced Analytics Institute (AAi) works with organisations across all sectors to extract significant value from large data sets. The AAi lend their expertise to projects at Tech Lab and help partners integrate new data technologies into their processes in order to enhance decision-making capabilities, improve business performance and develop new opportunities.
