Established in 2020

We have been around the block for a few years and together we have over 100 years experience in data science, Artificial Intelligence and technology. Because of our international experience in multiple projects and companies we can identify pitfalls and can give a realistic view of what is happening in the data & AI field.

We experience a huge gap between what is happening in the US and China and how Europe is lagging behind in the data science and AI domain. We see companies struggle on the “how to apply data science and/or AI” and lack access to the right skills. 

We have a firm opinion about this, but with our background it is better to have an opinion and start doing. That's why we decided to start Science Park Inc. Together with our founders, advisory board members and partners  we will design the future, starting today. 

Our Mission

To accelerate the data science & AI experience and bridge the gap in the Netherlands and expand across Europe for current and future generations.  
​
The progress lies somewhere between the future of technological opportunities, the legacy of systems and the extent to which people are able to adopt and adapt. 

We help you to develop a view on the impact of new technology on your business. What are the trends and what does this mean for your market position and the requirements for your technology and organisation? Set clear priorities, including a value-based business case, and a balanced roadmap to allow you to move fast from strategy to execution. 

Don’t look further we will help you build the needed AI capabilities… from boardroom to service room, hands-on!
