About Us

Our Mission

To transform how science manages its data

By combining AI, structured databases, and FAIR data principles, we eliminate the inefficiencies and costs caused by fragmented, low-quality data.

Our SaaS platform integrates the core functionalities of LIMS, ELN, and Order Management into a single, unified ecosystem.

The Result

Structured, compliant, AI-ready

You can seamlessly collect, standardize, and analyze experimental data while ensuring compliance, scalability, and interoperability.

At DR-I, we believe research should accelerate, not stall. We empower scientists and engineers with a platform that ensures data are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable — machine-actionable, yet human-friendly.

Our Story

From research gap to FAIR platform

2021 · The Beginning

Identifying the gap

The origins of DR-I trace back to 2021, when the team identified a growing problem in research laboratories: the absence of integrated digital systems comparable to the ERP solutions of the manufacturing world.

Most labs still relied on disconnected spreadsheets, manual processes, and non-standardized workflows — while generating massive amounts of valuable data.

2022 · Foundation

From idea to company

In May 2022, the project was selected at a regional Call for Startups in Campania — providing the resources to formally establish DR-I S.R.L.

The year focused on defining the core architecture, building first prototypes, and validating the model with early partners.

2023 · Recognition

Incubation and innovative status

DR-I joined the Startup Geeks incubation program and became part of Confindustria's Blockchain Innovation initiative, achieving formal status as an Innovative Startup under Italian law.

2024–2026 · Product

Full-scale development

Full-scale development of the proprietary platform — designed to automate generation, structuring, and FAIR compliance of research data, integrating with external databases and laboratory systems.

Public release is planned for 2026.
