GRAPHEXT LABS SL

Their core work

Graphext Labs is a Spanish data analytics software company that builds a platform for making advanced data science accessible to business users without requiring deep technical expertise. Their core product — Graphext — is a visual analytics tool that transforms raw datasets into interactive, actionable business intelligence without hand-coding. The company secured EU funding to scale this product from a feasibility concept into a commercial platform capable of serving enterprise clients across multiple sectors. Their value proposition is reducing the gap between data scientists and business decision-makers by automating much of the analytical workflow.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their 2018 SME Phase 1 feasibility project, Graphext Labs was still in concept-validation mode with no published technical keywords, suggesting the product was early-stage and the focus was on market sizing and technical proof-of-concept. By 2019, with a 35x increase in funding (EUR 50K to EUR 1.74M), the project had matured into a fully defined product around advanced analytics, data science, and business intelligence. The trajectory is a textbook SME Instrument path: validate fast, then scale commercially — their entire EU engagement was a funding ladder for a single product.

Their H2020 engagement was a deliberate two-step product launch strategy and they are likely now in post-EU-funding commercial growth mode, making them more relevant as a technology provider than a research collaborator.

How they like to work

Graphext Labs operated exclusively as a solo coordinator under the SME Instrument, which by design does not involve research consortia — companies apply alone and retain full IP. This means they have zero recorded consortium experience in H2020, not because they are isolated, but because the funding instrument they chose does not require partners. Anyone looking to collaborate with them should expect a vendor or technology-licensing relationship rather than a co-research dynamic.

Graphext Labs has no recorded H2020 consortium partners, which is entirely typical for SME Instrument recipients who apply and execute as single-entity projects. Their network, if any, would be commercial rather than research-based and is not visible in CORDIS data.

What sets them apart

Graphext Labs is one of very few Spanish SMEs to successfully secure both phases of the SME Instrument for a data analytics product, demonstrating that their concept passed rigorous EU evaluation twice. Their product occupies a specific niche: not a generic BI dashboard tool, but a platform that automates the analytical reasoning layer — closer to automated data science than to Tableau or Power BI. For consortia needing a data visualization or analytics tooling partner with a validated commercial product, they represent a rare combination of research credibility and market-ready software.
