ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR THE DATA-DRIVEN GROWTH OF YOUR

BUSINESS

«The Digital Era may lead to uncertainty for some businesses - whereas it may open new opportunity doors to newborn firms, or to companies able to renew themselves by achieving a childlike state of mind and

challenging their established processes, both internal and external.

This applies to financial institutions and listed companies as well»

The availability of information - before itturns into mainstream news - is what makes

the difference in investments.

The Alternative Data.

Artificial Intelligence to innovate Investment Models and Strategies.

Alternative Data is non-traditional and truly “big” data, often unstructured.

This data originates in digital environments, such as social platforms, blogs, forums, e-commerce platforms,

maps, etc.

Alternative Data can be used to makeinvestment decisions, in addition to traditional balance sheets, quarterlyreports, stock data and analyses such

as prices and volumes.

These data are hard to gather and analyse without a proper software

applying an algorithmic approach to digital information. This requires

specific skills, unique professionalisms and state-of-the-art

technologies.

FinScience is a data-driven fintech company founded in 2017.

by former senior managers of Google and Alternative Data experts.
