Our take
Data science can help companies unlock incredible opportunities, but it can be difficult to maximise its rewards. Ekimetrics solves this problem by acting as a data consultant to companies and helping them to secure immediate business gains through data science.
The company is now active in over 50 countries and boasts an impressive team of more than 350 data scientists. It owes its success in part to its mission to offer companies an "industrialised" data science experience. This has also allowed it to onboard big-name partners such as Facebook, Google and Snap.
Ekimetrics has firmly established itself as a leading force in the data science industry. With its impressive funding and recognition as Europe's leading data science company, it stands as a testament to its ongoing viability. The acquired capital will serve as a valuable asset as Ekimetrics embarks on international expansion, targeting the US and China, while introducing innovative new products.
