Volvo Group Connected Solutions Innovation Lab

Big data has been a buzzword for years. At Volvo Group Connected Solutions it’s the focus of our daily work and the springboard for innovation. By collecting data from connected Volvo Group vehicles around the world we have the chance to analyze behavior and forecast the needs of tomorrow.

We believe that with a little momentum, nothing is impossible. In the face of uncertainty we prioritize speed and openness over slow and steady.

We operate at the edge of the organization where speed meets scale, ideas meet actions, problems meet solutions, and opportunities meet purpose.

We have 3 strategic focus areas:

Advanced analytics and visualization

Business innovation and foresight
