Our take
The real-time intelligence market is becoming increasingly important as organisations face a world where events can develop faster than traditional risk-monitoring systems can respond. So, companies and governments need to identify emerging threats, understand their potential impact and act quickly, creating growing demand for AI-powered intelligence that can turn huge volumes of public information into usable insight.
Dataminr operates in this market by detecting and analyzing events in real time from more than 1M publicly available data sources. Its AI combines text, images, video, audio and sensor data across 150 languages, then uses agentic AI to corroborate information, provide context, explain potential impact and predict how events could develop. Its products, including First Alert Advanced, are designed to move customers from simply receiving alerts to continuously understand what is happening and what it could mean for them.
The company's recent developments point to an expansion from real-time alerting into a broader autonomous intelligence platform. Its $318M, five-year US Department of War contract, alongside adoption by NATO and international militaries, demonstrates significant traction in government and defense, while its partnership with Crisis24 extends the technology into enterprise risk management.
