Company

We build systems that help industry design with greater clarity, responsibility and anticipation.

DDS is a deep-tech company and official spin-off of the Universidade da Coruña, with strong links to the CITIC research environment. We develop proprietary AI systems for industrial teams that need to evaluate product decisions earlier.

Research base

Rooted in academic transfer and computational research within the UDC-CITIC environment.

Product orientation

Articulated around Design Agent-1 and Aeroflow as complementary technology platforms.

Decision as the starting point

Focused on structured trade-offs, traceability and human-supervised judgement.

Traction

Institutional traction and development in progress.

DDS is in a development phase marked by academic transfer, institutional collaboration and progressive validation. Industrial conversations and potential pilots are being developed selectively, with prudence and under confidentiality criteria.

Vision

We apply cutting-edge technology and conceptual design protocols responsibly, to help humans solve highly complex problems that would be impossible to address any other way. Technology is not the purpose — it is the instrument. Behind everything we build there is a greater motivation: the health and wellbeing of the planet, of other species, and of future generations as a whole.

Mission

DDS is built on the conviction that industrial design needs to mature and explore new ways to anticipate, justify and take responsibility for the consequences of what it produces. Our approach draws on the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI): inclusiveness, anticipation, reflexivity and responsiveness.

Bring intelligence to the start of the process.

For industrial partners, product teams and institutions seeking new ways to decide, validate and justify the development of complex products.
