We help construction and manufacturing companies build core competence in Applied AI and human amplification—solving the 50-year productivity crisis through Frascati-compliant R&D&I programs.
Our focus is Europe, but we work where our clients have locations. With 10+ years supporting industrial innovation, we help companies build legitimate AI capabilities that naturally qualify for national incentives.
Manufacturing productivity: 3-4% annual improvement since 1970
Construction productivity: 0.4% annual improvement since 1970
Heavy industrial operations: 1-3% annual gains maximum
This isn't incompetence. It's Baumol's Cost Disease—labor-intensive sectors cannot eliminate coordination overhead using conventional methods.
By 2030, this productivity gap threatens:
The Post-Baumol framework doesn't deploy AI tools. It restructures physical operations to achieve manufacturing-grade certainty through:
Augment human coordination with computational inference systems that resolve uncertainty before execution begins—freeing humans from repetitive administrative overhead to focus on strategic decisions and creative problem-solving.
Augment skilled workers with decision intelligence—not replacing expertise but amplifying it through real-time computational support.
Transform project-based delivery to manufacturing process discipline—predictable, repeatable, scalable outcomes.
This is core competence transformation, not technology adoption.
Global Reach. Asynchronous Velocity. Industrial Expertise.
Inference Innovation operates as a remote-first, distributed intelligence network. We eschew the slow, centralized office model in favor of a dynamic grid of expert nodes. Our network of domain specialists, engineers, and digital workers spans time zones to ensure continuous delivery for global infrastructure projects.

Ensuring client IP never leaks:
Beyond our human experts, Inference Innovation is building a fleet of Autonomous Digital Workers (AI Agents) that handle repetitive data ingestion, pattern recognition, and routine compliance checks 24/7/365. This eliminates repetitive cognitive overhead, allowing our human engineers to focus on high-value strategic reasoning, creative problem-solving, and client relationships—work that requires human judgment and expertise.
Scale without Bloat: Robust capabilities (~30 specialists) without organizational overhead
"Follow the Sun" Delivery: Continuous progress across time zones ensures velocity
Hybrid Workforce: We use the AI we build—digital workers prove the model
Domain Credibility: Engineering-native specialists who speak your language
We work with industrial clients on multi-year R&D&I programs that develop proprietary Applied AI systems, build internal human amplification competencies, create defensible competitive advantages through IP, and eliminate coordination overhead permanently—not project-by-project.
All programs follow Frascati Manual and Oslo Manual frameworks:
This methodological discipline ensures programs qualify for national R&D incentives and reliefs—because they're legitimate industrial research, not paper exercises.
Traditional consultancies optimize what exists. We industrialize what's possible.
Research programs structured to meet government R&D standards from inception.
Measurable, documented improvements in operational efficiency and throughput.
Proprietary technologies and capabilities that create sustainable competitive advantage.
Proper access to national reliefs across operating territories when programs qualify.
