Today, the company operates in research and development contexts, collaborating with public administrations, large companies, and research institutes. Of particular relevance are Ex Lab, the innovative project incubator from which three spin-off companies have emerged over the years, and AI.lab, the AI technology research laboratory that recently launched the COSMO 42 platform.

This milestone – which in two decades of activity has involved over 100 employees – is the result of a business model that combines cutting-edge technical skills with a humanistic vision of technology. Located in the heart of Lugano, at Quartiere Maghetti, Ex Machina starts from a local dimension to implement projects of global scope, continuing to explore digital transformation opportunities and demonstrating that it is possible to combine innovation and reliability.
