transportation: road, railway, maritime, and aviation; healthcare; sports; and finance. We work with commercial solvers (Cplex, Gurobi, etc.) as well as our own software libraries that have been refined over many years and contain a range of different solution
methods (exact and approximate). We commercialise our results, either through existing solution vendors, spin-off companies, or directly to end users. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
