Founded in 2017 in Zurich, Switzerland by former IBM analytics experts, Spur Insights (formerly Cognitive Solutions & Innovation AG) was created to bring the power of Data Science into industrial manufacturing.
With a deep belief that manufacturing touches nearly every part of life—from the machines that brew our morning coffee to the technologies that move us through the day—our mission is to make these processes smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.
Backed by 25+ years of experience, our white-label solutions are integrated by machine builders and end users in over 100 countries, helping increase uptime, reduce costs, and make better decisions. In 2021, our partnership with ei3 allowed us to expand our reach as “ei3 Data Science”, bringing our solutions to ei3 customers under ei3’s “ConnectedAI” suite of solutions.
Today, our solutions range from embedded on-device intelligence to cloud-based optimization tools—always designed to help manufacturers get ahead of problems before they escalate.
Our solutions lay the foundation for SaaS services and recurring revenue streams for our clients.
We Love Challenges
We thrive on solving problems others couldn’t. Our team has turned failed projects into success stories by exploring what others overlooked. This mindset keeps us innovative—and always one step ahead.
We Deliver What We Promise
With early go/no-go milestones and an agile, transparent approach, we deliver what we say we will—tailored to each client’s needs and focused on long-term value.
Where Passion Meets Precision
Data Science is our craft. We combine technical excellence with creative problem-solving—and our Swiss roots ensure we bring precision and quality to every project.
