Sample M&A Use Case

Semantic Visions was approached by a global manufacturing group looking to monitor their global industry landscape for potential acquisition targets. Their aim was to identify,  materially assess the strategic, operational and cultural fit of these companies and engage in transactions that would expand the current group’s portfolio.

Semantic Visions’ delivery team processed, enriched and delivered one year-worth of a high quality data covering over 10.5m entities. This data was processed by applying Named Entity Recognition technology to extract potential companies of interest, Natural Language Processing technology to extract meaningful events of interest and Large Language Modeling driven by AI/ML algorithms to further refine the results.

As a realized outcome, the client was able to gather valuable insights into the companies that were delivering valuable and innovative products to the market thus enabling the client to diversify and enhance product and service offerings.
