Research & Innovation / European Project - Extracurricular Internship

We don't just design interfaces. We craft the future of human-machine connection.

Since 2004, RE:LAB has been the secret weapon behind breakthrough products that people actually love to use. From the dashboard of tomorrow's autonomous vehicles to the smart appliances transforming homes worldwide, we create the invisible bridge between human intuition and cutting-edge technology.

What makes us different? While others focus on screens, we think in experiences. Our multidisciplinary team of interaction designers, software engineers, AI specialists, and human factors researchers doesn't just ask "can we build it?" – we ask "should people want to use it?"

Our superpower: Turning complex technology into effortless experiences across automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. We're the team global leaders call when user adoption can make or break a multi-million dollar product launch.
