Thomson Reuters Opens Big Data / Analytics Incubator

News and information provider Thomson Reuters has launched a division which will help early-stage entrepreneurs build products focused on big data, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Located in Switzerland, 'Thomson Reuters Labs - The Incubator' is part of the company's existing labs network, through which it collaborates with customers, universities and start-ups to prototype products and solutions using data science and 'lean experimentation'. As part of the incubator programme, startups will receive access to Thomson Reuters data and content, mentoring from executives, and networking opportunities for investment and commercialisation.

Måns Olof-Ors (pictured), Head of Labs for the Zurich Region and the Incubator, comments: 'Our ultimate goal is to help our entrepreneurs realize their vision and get their solutions to market. In turn, we gain valuable insight, working with creative disruptors to identify new opportunities and ensure we are providing our clients with the most up to date trends impacting their professional markets'.
