The Data Lab is Scotland’s innovation centre for data and AI, hosted by the University of Edinburgh and part of the National Innovation Centre Programme funded by the Scottish Funding Council. 

At The Data Lab, we believe in a thriving, connected society powered by data and AI – where cross-sector conversations, creativity, and collaboration ignite and sustain the sparks of ground-breaking ideas, products and societal advances. We’re uniquely positioned to support and incubate responsible innovation in data and AI across the public, private and academic sectors. We work with students, professionals, universities and colleges, business and our wider community to build a stronger and more collaborative economy and future for Scotland and the world. Our Skills programme offers opportunities for everyone to thrive in an AI- and data-driven economy.
