As part of the EU project INITIATE, the Business Analytics & Data Science Lab is a laboratory within the Iscte – Knowledge and Innovation Centre driven by the challenge of leveraging data for business success. The Lab collaborates with companies on projects that advance interdisciplinary research and innovation in data-driven decision-making, helping them unlock the value of data to enhance productivity and sustainability.
