Appier, a technology company, which aims to provide artificial intelligence (AI) platforms to help enterprises solve their most challenging business problems, has been included in the ranking of CB Insights' 100 AI Companies 2018.
The Appier has made the list of 100 AI companies for the second time at the recent CB Insights A-ha! conference in San Francisco.
The announcement recognises promising private companies from around the world working on ground-breaking AI technology, says a statement of the Media OutReach.
"We're delighted to be named for the second year running in CB Insight's AI 100. This is great recognition for our continued progress in the enterprise AI arena, said Chih-Han Yu, CEO and co-founder of Appier.
He said, "2017 has been a milestone year for us, not only did we celebrate our 5th anniversary as a company, but we also brought on board new notable investors and increased the number of valuable customers we serve to over 1,000."
"This year also saw us expand our presence in Asia with new offices, extend our R&D team to Singapore and make significant progress with Aixon, our AI-based data intelligence platform for enterprises," he added.
Appier's Series C round of investment brought in US$33, says the statement.
The new additions to Appier's executive team include Sean Chu, Chief Strategy Officer; Junde Yu, Chief Business Officer; and Charles Ng, Vice President for Enterprise AI.
The company opened new offices in Osaka in July and in Bangkok in May this year.
Appier also made headway with Aixon, launching it in Japan and signing in new customers such as LIFULL Co, one of Japan's largest real estate and housing information services.
