INCQUERY LABS ZARTKORUEN MUKODO RT

Their core work

IncQuery Labs is a Budapest-based software technology company specializing in model-driven engineering (MDE) — an approach to software development that uses abstract models and automated code generation to make building complex systems faster and more reliable. They build and research tooling that enables both professional developers and non-technical "citizen developers" to create software through visual models and declarative rules rather than hand-written code. Their H2020 participation spans two complementary fronts: contributing to the academic training of the next generation of low-code platform experts (Lowcomote MSCA-ITN), and applying model-driven techniques to industrial IoT and digitalization toolchains (Arrowhead Tools). In practice, they function as methodology experts and tool builders who help teams adopt scalable, model-based approaches to software engineering in industrial and enterprise contexts.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both projects began in 2019, so there is no multi-year chronological arc to trace — the keyword split reflects two parallel tracks rather than a sequential shift in focus. The Lowcomote track addresses the methodological and educational dimension: building low-code platforms, training researchers, and studying collaborative development practices. The Arrowhead Tools track represents the applied industrial dimension: engineering digitalization solutions for real industrial systems. The overall picture is a company that simultaneously advances the theory of model-driven engineering and deploys it in industrial practice — not a pivot, but a deliberate dual positioning.

IncQuery Labs appears positioned to bridge academic MDE research and industrial application — a future collaboration partner for anyone building software tooling for smart manufacturing, industrial IoT, or enterprise digitalization who needs model-driven methodological depth.

How they like to work

IncQuery Labs participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never as project coordinator — consistent with a specialist technology company that contributes deep tooling expertise rather than driving project management. Both projects are large-scale: Lowcomote is an MSCA-ITN network and Arrowhead Tools is an Innovation Action, both typically involving 15+ partners. Despite only two projects, they have connected with 104 unique partners across 20 countries, which suggests they bring recognized, in-demand expertise that makes them attractive to large, diverse consortia.

With 104 unique consortium partners spanning 20 countries from just two projects, IncQuery Labs has a surprisingly broad European network for their size. Their reach is pan-European rather than geographically concentrated, reflecting the large, multi-national consortia typical of MSCA-ITN and IA funding schemes.

What sets them apart

IncQuery Labs occupies a rare niche as a small Hungarian software company with recognized expertise in model-driven engineering — a highly specialized field dominated by academic groups. Their dual presence in both an MSCA training network (Lowcomote) and an applied industrial Innovation Action (Arrowhead Tools) signals they can operate credibly at both the research frontier and the deployment layer. For consortium builders, they offer MDE tooling competence that few SMEs in Central and Eastern Europe can match.

Highlights from their portfolio

• Lowcomote
  Largest funding received (EUR 229,715) and participation in a prestigious MSCA-ITN training network signals recognition by the European research community as a credible expert in scalable low-code platform engineering.
• Arrowhead Tools
  An Innovation Action focused on industrial digitalization tooling, demonstrating IncQuery Labs' ability to translate model-driven engineering methods into practical industrial deployment contexts beyond academia.
