Star is launching the AI Innovation Hub, an R&D, Design, Engineering, and Scaling powerhouse that will focus on guiding enterprises within the AdTech, HealthTech, Automotive & FinTech spaces on their journey to adopt AI to create new ways of working and disruptive user experiences.
The lab will primarily focus on introducing new AI capabilities to Star's service portfolio, conducting R&D activities to apply AI to the company's internal processes, fostering a community of AI enthusiasts, building collective knowledge and expertise on AI, and collaborating with the commercial organization to promote the service to new and existing clients.
The Company
Star is a global consultancy that connects strategy, design and engineering services to help companies accelerate product innovation. With over a decade of constant annual growth, we’re rapidly expanding our consulting services, geographic footprint and industry expertise. We’re on the cusp of further growth as we become a household name in consulting.
Star works for businesses in a variety of industries, including Automotive & Mobility, HealthTech, FinTech and AdTech. Our clients include BMW Group, SAIC, Lufthansa, Denso, NIO, Panasonic, AppyWay, Zeiss, Walmart, Dolby, and many more.
We support our clients at every step of their digital journey. Through co-creation, we guide them from ideation and concept crafting to full-stack development. We always remain focused on helping our clients win the hearts and minds of their customers.
At Star, we connect strategy, insights, design and engineering into a seamless workflow devised to support our clients every step of the way — no matter how long or complex their journey. We anchor everything we do in clear and compelling endgames, which in turn enable our multidisciplinary teams to create superior solutions and impressive commercial returns for our clients.
Star is truly global. That is why we are the first major consulting company that does not have a headquarters. Instead, we have many front doors, spanning Silicon Valley, Tokyo, London, Munich, Copenhagen, Kyiv, Wroclaw, and other vibrant design, technology and creative nuclei of the world. Our spirited and growing strong Star Crew takes great pride in working side by side with their trailblazing counterparts at some of the world’s most disruptive “unicorn” startups and iconic global brands.
Our passion is to make every great person, every great idea and every great company shine. That’s why we’re called Star.
