Created in January 2014, the Data Innovation Lab (DIL) plays the role of AXA Group’s center of expertise for Big Data/ R&D projects. The DIL supports AXA entities’ big data projects by acting as an accelerator to carry out pilots and drives the creation of technological platforms to ease the operational roll-out. We have gathered both the latest data science tools and a team of experts in innovation, data and data science.
The DIL’s key mission is to help AXA entities become data - driven companies by contributing to build technological platforms, acting as a technological hub towards external to explore the technological opportunities for insurance business.
Its approach for supporting entities’ projects relies on 4 principles: “Entrepreneurial spirit”, “Fail fast”, “Agile” and “Learning by doing”.
The DIL team is composed of employees from headquarter but also of employees of French and international business units.
Thirty experts are currently working in the DIL but we expect to grow in 2015 in order to support more effectively the Group's entities and to manage an increasingly number of projects.
