Welcome to Transfer Institute i2e, your partner for innovation. Together, we develop and test digital innovations, platforms, ecosystems and applications of AI.

Find out how our team brings methods and processes for developing digital product and business model innovations to medium-sized companies. (German article)

i2e offers medium-sized companies innovative approaches to human-centred identification and design of use cases for Agentic AI. We were able to present and discuss our approaches for collaborating with companies and research at the AI House in Davos.

Product & Service Innovation

Lean Startup was just the beginning. Digital approaches and tools support all innovation phases, from exploration to roll-out and adoption. From design thinking to business model innovation to lean market validation. We offer you creative advances and efficient support.

Platform Business & Ecosystems

Digital platform-based business models and market ecosystems represent one of the biggest disruptions to our economy. The changes are becoming ever more profound. From create-push-sell to enable-co-create-participate. Let’s work together to identify the opportunities for your business model.

Design and Implementation of collaborations with the research ecosystem

Collaborating with academia promises to provide companies with access to cutting-edge knowledge, technologies, and research expertis that can significantly benefit their R&D efforts and product development. Collaborating with researchers can also boost innovation performance through fresh perspectives, complementary expertise, identification of relevant research results and also address talent needs by providing access to skilled students. 

However, in order to realize this potential for added value and impact on product innovation, a number of challenges need to be addressed. Some of these challenges are generic, while others are specific to the corporate context and the academic institution with which you wish to collaborate. Our team at I2e can help you address these challenges with a strategic approach. We believe it’s not only important to select the right collaborators and initiatives, but also to effectively support the collaboration in a working model that provides both stability and flexibility to thrive.

Human-Centered Identification and Definition of Agentic AI Use Cases

Our human-centered approach helps businesses identify and define Agentic AI use cases by focusing on real organizational challenges rather than starting with the technology. This ensures that AI solutions are practical, user-focused, and aligned with your business goals. By combining principles of design thinking with enterprise architecture, we guide you through a structured process to explore Agentic AI opportunities, define use cases, and offer support to create prototypes tailored to your needs. 

Our team at i2e offers support with interactive workshops and clear frameworks to support ideation, validation, and implementation. Whether you are just beginning to explore AI’s potential or refining existing concepts, this approach offers a structured pathway to develop meaningful and actionable AI solutions.
