Our Company

Connected Knowledge • Trusted Intelligence • Informed Decisions

Our Identity & Catalyst Approach

Transforming raw research data into trusted institutional intelligence.

CIntelligence stands for Catalyst-Intelligence. Established in 2013, CIntelligence was founded with a singular conviction: research information becomes actionable only when it is connected to the people, academic units, and institutional priorities behind it.

Over a decade of deep collaboration with top academic universities, research institutes, and technology enterprises revealed the core bottlenecks of modern research administration: siloed repositories, fragmented metric claims, and administrative overhead.

We resolve this by combining proprietary Knowledge Graphs, artificial intelligence, and deep specialist expertise — empowering research leaders to understand what they produce, how it performs, and where strategic attention is needed.
