Napptilus Tech Labs, established in 2004, operates from Barcelona as a technology company focused on software development and digital transformation. It stands as a reference in artificial intelligence services, delivering strategic AI capabilities that help organizations unlock potential with data-driven, practical solutions.
Based at Pier 1 in BCN Tech City, Napptilus has positioned itself as a leader in AI, delivering customized solutions that tackle a wide range of business challenges. For more than a decade, the company has invested in AI initiatives with the aim of embedding intelligent technologies across client portfolios, acting as a technology partner and supporting startups through the Napptilus Tech Labs incubator program.
Founder Rafa Terradas emphasizes a strong, customer-first approach from the outset. The firm provides tailored AI models that align with specific business needs and industry contexts. He highlights the strong impact of generative AI and recalls years of AI resource deployment to boost client productivity, citing a 2012 project that developed a virtual assistant for autistic children as an early notable example.
With a team exceeding 130 professionals, Napptilus benefits from concentrated Barcelona-based expertise and nearly twenty years of experience across a broad range of projects and advisory work for clients, including multinational corporations and Ibex 35-listed companies.
The Napptilus umbrella also encompasses a startup incubator, which has accelerated disruptive ventures and built a repository of valuable know-how. Since its inception, investment in these ventures has surpassed €15 million, backed by Spain’s leading deep-tech investors and business angels.
Today, the Napptilus Tech Labs portfolio includes eight active initiatives, most of which revolve around Artificial Intelligence. Notable examples include StageInHome, which combines AI and machine learning to assist in design and decoration, and TracksCO2, which analyzes satellite imagery to measure CO2 absorption in forested regions.
Other standout projects include Magnetika and Battery Labs. Battery Labs, launched in 2021, focuses on advancing hybrid fast charging and wireless battery technologies for modern mobility and energy storage.
Terradas describes daily life within these disruptive ventures as a catalyst for expanding Napptilus’s consulting services to a broader client base, effectively closing a loop of innovation. He also emphasizes the strategic priority of securing multiple patents and maintaining collaborations with universities and research centers, including UPC and UCLA, as well as CSIC, to keep knowledge at the forefront of AI development.
