The company intends to use the funds to accelerate development of its existing platform while expanding its sales teams in Europe and the US. A major part of the funding will be invested in the further development of its existing artificial intelligence capabilities. This will accelerate the implementation of new features which will join existing features such as Talkwalker’s business impact metrics, image recognition, IQ Apps and the virality map.
