Top Data Science

Top Data Science operates as an AI co-creation partner, specializing in the development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision technologies for a corporate clientele. The firm provides tailored solutions and consultative services, utilizing a range of AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computer vision to address specific client needs. Its business model is centered on collaborating with technology companies, hospitals, and academic research groups to deliver AI-driven solutions. The company has a track record of executing over 70 machine learning projects for clients across Finland, Japan, and Germany.

Originally a Finnish data science and software engineering company, Top Data Science was founded by individuals including Timo Heikkinen, who served as its CEO. In November 2018, it became a subsidiary of Morpho, Inc., a Tokyo-based leader in image processing and imaging AI solutions founded in 2004 by Masaki Hiraga. This acquisition was a natural progression of a strategic alliance formed in 2017, which had already resulted in joint product development, such as the "Pose Estimator" launched in May 2018. The partnership aimed to merge Morpho's expertise in image processing and deep learning with Top Data Science's R&D capabilities in computer vision. In March 2025, a significant ownership change occurred through a share transfer, giving the majority of shares to the employees of Top Data Science. This move led to the appointment of Kai Lehtinen, the former COO, as the new CEO, and Timo Keinänen as the Chairman of the Board.

Top Data Science's service portfolio is diverse, focusing on creating customized AI solutions. The company engages in projects that involve analyzing complex data sets, such as patient monitor device logs, and developing predictive models for various applications. A key area of its expertise is computer vision, which leverages deep learning to detect and estimate human or object poses in digital images. The firm's approach is platform-agnostic, ensuring compatibility with major cloud platforms like Azure, AWS, and GCP, which are commonly used by its clients. This flexibility allows them to integrate their solutions seamlessly into existing client technology stacks. By combining consultative services with state-of-the-art, scientific problem-solving, the company provides tangible results and value to its international customer base.
