AIA Lab
AIA Labs · Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean

The trusted partner of large organisations for digital strategy and AI transformation.

A time-boxed pilot, with targets agreed up front, shows whether AI is worth it. Then we scale what works, with the EU AI Act in mind.

What we do

One partner. Three ways to work together.

01

Educate

Teams that can build with AI in a controlled, traceable way. Our flagship is the AI Orchestrator programme: 24 hours, up to 12 people.

02

Build

To be announced. We are preparing a build offer with a technology partner.

Build →
03

Grow

Turn a good offer into a pipeline of the right customers, with targets agreed before we start.

Grow →

Start with an AI Audit, from €5,000, which includes a workshop with your people.

For governments and public bodies we also advise on AI policy and ecosystems.

Method

Fast ROI is a method, not a promise.

We do not quote percentages that are true for someone else’s company. We commit to something you can check.

01

Agree the target

Baseline, target and measurement are signed off by your business owner before the work starts.

02

Time-box the work

A fixed length and a narrow scope, so value shows early and you can see it every week.

03

Decide on evidence

Every pilot ends with a go/no-go: scale, adjust or stop. The decision is yours.
