ISVWorld • Is the first product using our technology with which we aim to displace/expand
parts of traditional (human) desktop research. R&D started in 2008
Technology• Our algorithms integrate > 100 API’s in the areas of language technology,
semantic technology, focused crawlers, text-mining and text-classification, Information Extraction and Information Retrieval technologies
• For every vendor we collect data from at least 100 data sources to achieve auto-classification, in many cases close to 500 sources.
Our Future vision for that technology• Use our technology to generate market information databases of vendors
and/or products for other industry verticals or segments, especially where human scalability is a limiting factor.
• Driven from “seeding lists”• Examples: Biotechnology, Health, Green Energy, Investment funds
Our Partners• Our technology has been developed a/o with the LM University in Munich,
University of Utrecht, Jiao Tong University in Shanghai and LanguageTools in Munich, and through testing many many many API’s on the market today.
