Our Company
Connected Knowledge • Trusted Intelligence • Informed Decisions
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.

Bridging evidence, policy, and decision-making for academia and global industry.
Our Vision & Mission
Every system, dataset, and advisory engagement we build is grounded in two enduring commitments.
Our Vision
To advance research and innovation through connected knowledge, creating meaningful and lasting value for society.
Our Mission
To transform research information into trusted intelligence through Knowledge Graphs, artificial intelligence, and human expertise. Through our Intelligence Suite and specialist consulting, we support informed decisions across research, intellectual property, and innovation.
From research information to institutional intelligence.
