Product Labs 
Skills Set

Real innovation comes from the fusion of different perspectives. Product Labs is all about the transfer of research results so that society and the economy can benefit from our innovations. 

We support researchers and founders during the ideation phase. Originally known as "Scientific Engineering", our group has evolved into an agile Product Labs team. We combine expertise in the core areas of software engineering, design, storytelling and user experience research. 

At Product Labs, we explore, advise and implement. Using the combined power of our skills and knowledge, we have successfully developed live scientific demonstrations such as "Crack the Safe" and websites such as "Deceptive Security". We have also reworked parts of the Tamarin Prover research software.

It is our mission to combine scientific principles with design and to create solutions. Research results are more than letters typed up in scientific articles, more than bytes in program code. Not only do we design products, but we also create experiences that challenge the status quo and open up new horizons .
