"We approached G.A.C. Group for a prospective study using Idexlab, their artificial intelligence tool capable of collecting the state of the art on a given theme (scientific studies, theses, start-ups, industrial projects, etc.). Idexlab enabled us to carry out a study that would not have been feasible in-house in terms of human, time and technical resources. The G.A.C. Group team was very attentive, helped us to define our needs, and offered invaluable support with financing. The final result, on time, with a flow chart and summary pages, opened up interesting prospects for our industrial future."
