Somerset, NJ – LabVantage Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of laboratory informatics solutions and services, today announced the grand opening of its Innovation Hub for Science at Bengal Intelligent Park in Kolkata, India. The strategic expansion in Kolkata reinforces LabVantage’s commitment to improving customer outcomes by transforming data into knowledge through applied artificial intelligence (AI), agentic AI, and next-generation delivery methods like Service-as-a-Software (SaaS 2.0).
As scientific research organizations seek to accelerate innovation, they increasingly turn to AI technologies. However, effective AI adoption is often hampered by siloed, poorly structured, and inaccessible data — and a lack of clarity about AI strategies. It is estimated that 25% of AI efforts show no return on investment. “Bringing customers into the Innovation Hub will help them better understand how to create opportunities from AI and their data,” said Mikael Hagstroem, CEO, LabVantage Solutions.
Through collaborative workshops at the Hub, visiting teams from partnering companies will engage with LabVantage experts to build requirements and explore opportunities. Data scientists, AI specialists, software developers, and business analysts from LabVantage and its customers will work together to harness the latest advances in data science, including AI, to solve pressing problems and discover new paths to advance scientific research and development.
“The launch of the Innovation Hub for Science is a natural and essential next step in our mission,” said Hagstroem. “As scientific research grows increasingly complex, it is imperative that we find new ways to transform data into knowledge, for faster, smarter decisions. The Innovation Hub will be instrumental in the development of intelligence and agentic AI that accelerate insights and innovation in scientific laboratories.”
The establishment of the Innovation Hub underscores LabVantage’s strategic investment in talent and technology to evolve informatics platforms into ecosystems where scientific discovery is accelerated through intelligent, collaborative, and cutting-edge solutions, including agentic AI.
LabVantage’s vision for the Innovation Hub extends beyond technological development to fostering a learning environment for applied AI in research and development. By attracting multidisciplinary and highly experienced scientists, data scientists, and AI professionals, the Innovation Hub will address the rapidly growing needs of scientific organizations and deliver true value across the scientific landscape.
