Insight Lab
Insight Lab created itself three years ago and has since then proven its strong value to many thousand collaborators. Now Insight Lab is quickly scaling up, and we need you to help us redefine our organization as an established Lab as well as our main product, UNIFY, Volvo Cars own Knowledge Graph platform. 

Insight Lab enables Volvo Cars to fearlessly ride dependencies and complexity. We give people decision-making superpowers by revealing all sorts of actionable insights hidden within Volvo Cars data sources. We believe knowledge can be made available to everyone. We do that by effectively breaking silos throughout the company with the help of the exciting and limitless graph technologies and graph data sciences.
