About us

We are an innovative company that designs smart systems for automation, robotics and advanced data analysis.

Who we are & what we do

We tackle complex problems by designing intelligent systems capable of integrating data, automation and real-world operational processes.

Our solutions are born from the convergence of applied research, software development and advanced modelling, with an approach focused on efficiency, scalability and operational autonomy.

We work with organisations that want to transform complex processes and systems using reliable, adaptive technologies that are integrated into the real world.

European-awarded innovation

Elif Lab has always been a key player in numerous European innovation projects, standing out for the originality and impact of its AI and computer vision solutions.

In 2020, Elif Lab was among the winners of the H2020 XR4ALL call with the project Freu3D, focused on semantic 3D reconstruction.

In 2022, the company secured three new calls: AWoid (computer vision for autonomous navigation) under H2020 BonsAPPs; JinZone (AI applied to mobile robotics) selected by H2020 VOJEXT; and Farm Scan (AI for precision agriculture) approved under H2020 DIGIFED.

That same year, Paola Bonesu, co-founder of Elif Lab, was selected as one of six finalists for EIT Manufacturing #LEADERS, a European initiative recognizing top female innovators in the industrial sector.

In 2023, Elif Lab achieved another success with the H2020 REACH call, thanks to the project VisioYao, which applies computer vision technologies to pharmaceutical logistics.

In 2024, Elif Lab won two major Horizon Europe projects: mandrIAno, selected by the HE CHAMELEON call, bringing semantic computer vision to the livestock sector; and TALOS, winner of the HE EARASHI call, focused on integrating robotics and artificial intelligence in dynamic manufacturing environments.

Innovation within the PNRR framework

In 2024, Elif Lab was also among the winners of two projects funded by the PNRR, further strengthening its commitment to innovation in strategic sectors. With Safepath, selected under the Start 4.0 call for proposals – Enabling Technologies for the Security of Critical Infrastructure, Elif Lab is developing advanced algorithms to ensure supply chain security.
With Anchemé, part of the RAISE – Robotics & AI for Socio-economic Empowerment call, the company is exploring the use of computer vision to support users in smart city contexts.

Our approach

We believe that artificial intelligence is only valuable when it can operate effectively in real-world contexts.

That is why we develop efficient, modular and reliable systems, designed to adapt to complex data, environments and processes.

Our research and development drives the creation of practical, robust and sustainable solutions, even in scenarios of high technical and operational complexity.

Innovation stems from the integration of different skills and an understanding of real-world problems.
