The Data Lab enables industry, public sector and world-class university researchers to innovate and develop new data science capabilities in a collaborative environment. Its core mission is to generate significant economic, social and scientific value from big data.
With a Scotland-wide presence and Hubs in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, it is in close proximity to leading industry and university institutions with world-class research in informatics and computer science. Hubs are focused on building relationships locally and delivering a range of activities that span across the three key areas:
Collaborative Innovation
The main focus of The Data Lab is to strengthen Scotland’s local industry and transfer world-leading research in informatics and computer science into the global marketplace.
Skills & Talent
The skills needed to exploit the data opportunity are in great demand and short supply. The Data Lab will work with industry and seek to create a pipeline of talented data scientists, equipped with the relevant skills.
Community Building
The Data Lab connects world-leading researchers and data scientists with local industry and public sector organisations, giving them access to experts who can help collaborate on solutions to key problems.
One thing I can say is your support to us has been phenomenal. You've given us a space to work when our office fell through. You've championed us to the Scottish business community. You've facilitated our meeting with local energy professionals. You've funded part of our research. I could go on. You've simply been amazing!
Don Baker
We are delighted to be working with the Data Lab to help deliver our ambitions to develop a state-of-the-art flow meter data capture and analysis system. The analysis of large volume data sets is key to our future operations.

The Data Lab are very passionate and skilled in organising their events. It is great to see how their efforts to make data science community network and to think outside of industry research are working and keep inspiring more people.

The team feel very strongly that the guidance The Data Lab gave us when we were putting together our proposal helped enormously - both in forming the partnerships and in developing the proposal content. The turn-around was quick, and since then they have provided just the right touch to help us move forward with the work.
Dr John N Wilson
Working with The Data Lab brings to us, as a leading company in asset management, the leading research in academia that best matches our needs. The close involvement of The Data Lab professionals in the project development process was of enormous value in the success of our application.
