Welcome to GPT-Lab

An AI research lab in Finland.

We are a multidisciplinary group advancing research in Artificial Intelligence—across Software Engineering, Quantum Computing, Ethics, Startup Innovation, and more.

Founded in 2023 at Tampere University, GPT-Lab is an AI research lab in Finland focused on software engineering and real-world AI applications.

We build and test AI-driven systems that solve practical problems in collaboration with companies, researchers, and students. Our work blends research and prototyping—from design science to experimental methods—with a strong focus on impact and usability.

With teams in Pori, Tampere, and Seinäjoki, and partners across Sweden, Norway, Brazil, and Tanzania, we’re building one of the largest AI research labs in the region—committed to responsible, open, and collaborative innovation.

Explore how AI can benefit your business through tailored services—from one-on-one consultations to pilot projects and research partnerships. Start small or scale with our 4-tier collaboration model.

We welcome interdisciplinary research collaboration in AI, software engineering, ethics, and emerging technologies. Reach out to co-author, co-develop, or connect on joint projects.

Join GPT-Lab through supervised master’s theses or by attending our university-level courses. Opportunities are open to Tampere University students.

Why join us?

At GPT-Lab, we value a culture of continuous learning—where professors, researchers, and students grow together through shared knowledge, experimentation, and reflection. We believe that advancing AI means evolving how we think, learn, and build.

Our environment supports hands-on research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and responsible innovation. We work closely with companies, universities, and research institutions to turn ideas into real-world impact.
