Our Values & Principles

Learner's Mindset

We practice what we preach.

We do what we recommend to others and follow our own advice. Reflect on what works and adjust.

We are curious and practical.

We are brave to explore, but keep practicality in mind. Innovation happens where visions, ideas and research translate into real- world applications.

Collaborative Community

We create and maintain an enjoyable workplace.

We create a safe space, in which everyone can be their authentic self. We invest in people and care for each other. We celebrate the benefits and the strength of having a diverse and inclusive team. Thus, we create a positive team culture.

We embrace challenges, encourage individual ownership and shared responsibility.

We welcome challenges, open discussion and disagreement. Once a decision is made, we fully commit. Failures are never yours alone to carry. Success is always a shared accomplishment.

Reliability

We build trustworthy relationships in our ecosystem.

We build trustworthy relationships with our customers and partners and tackle challenges as if they were our own. We are conscious about our capabilities and resources and build on them to be a reliable partner.

We start with the “why”, then maximize impact.

We create a precise and shared understanding of the customer's needs and challenges. We maximize impact by leveraging our expertise to offer the best solution and enable partners to advance in their AI journey.

Impact

We build shared wisdom for AI.

We build wisdom collectively in the appliedAI ecosystem and actively share it with Europe and the world.

We take responsibility in AI and beyond.

As an organization we embrace our ethical responsibility in AI and beyond. We proactively shape our operations to have a positive impact in a diverse, inclusive and equitable society and a healthy planet.
