The University of Valencia established, on April 16, its first AI spin-off with the aim of transforming the way companies and professionals manage regulatory compliance in regulated sectors. The company is INFERA LABS, in which the University of Valencia holds a stake in its share capital.

The new spin-off, jointly owned by the CSIC and the University of Valencia, will focus its activity on offering innovative solutions to make regulatory compliance a clear, efficient, and strategically useful process.

To achieve this, INFERA LABS has developed a regulatory intelligence platform based on advanced language models, designed to interpret complex regulations, monitor regulatory changes, and translate them into concrete, verifiable operational actions tailored to the context of each organisation.

The official launch event of the new spin-off was presided over by the rector of the University of Valencia, Juan Luis Gandía, accompanied by the head of the UV’s Transfer and Innovation Service, Consuelo Cuenca; technology transfer specialist Eva Escuder; and the company’s founding team, composed of Verónica Sanz, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Valencia and member of the Institute for Corpuscular Physics (IFIC, a joint CSIC–UV center), and Jaime Alcalá, a Physics graduate from the University of Valencia with training that combines a strong scientific background with advanced capabilities in business management and strategy.

Professor Verónica Sanz highlights that “the new spin-off was created to bring advanced regulatory intelligence tools closer to organisations that require rigour and clarity, but also accessible and operational solutions.” “INFERA LABS stems from my work in theoretical physics and from the conviction that the tools developed to understand complex systems can be applied to real-world problems. We want to bring that scientific rigour to the design of reliable, specialised, and expert-validated artificial intelligence,” she states.

Technical rigour and traceability

The INFERA LABS project positions itself as an intermediate solution between basic legal search engines and complex, costly corporate suites. Its distinctive value proposition combines technical rigour in regulatory interpretation, advanced traceability and explainability, sector-specific and multi-jurisdictional specialisation, and an accessible SaaS and API model for SMEs and associations.

The problem addressed by INFERA LABS is structural and growing. Regulatory output has intensified, legal texts are becoming increasingly technical and are updated more frequently, and obligations arise from multiple regulatory levels. For SMEs, independent professionals, and industry associations, this environment creates a significant burden. Existing solutions—from legal search engines to generic chatbots or corporate platforms—do not provide the right balance between technical rigour, traceability, cost, and ease of use.

In this context, INFERA LABS proposes an intelligent regulatory assistant that does more than explain regulations—it turns them into actionable knowledge. The platform analyses legislation, regulations, technical guidelines, and industry standards, identifies which obligations apply to each user, and translates them into clear instructions, procedural steps, required documentation, and deadlines. Each recommendation is supported by references to the relevant regulatory sources, ensuring verifiability and trust.
