Data can be a company’s most-valuable resource, but only if the value can be unlocked. For both customers and vendors, the key to that process has been the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to make sense of all the data. That demand has sparked an ever-increasing number of machine learning acquisitions, with M&A activity this year on pace to be three times higher than just three years ago, according to 451 Research’s M&A KnowledgeBase. However, as with any emerging technology trend, what to buy and how much to pay are still shaded in uncertainty, making it difficult to do a successful machine learning deal.
Join 451 Research on October 16 at the Tech M&A Summit NYC, where we'll draw on analyst insight and the experience of major acquirers to take an in-depth look at the artificial intelligence and machine learning markets. The agenda is as follows:
