This reduces IT complexity and&#13;<br \/>\nkeeps all their AI and data microservices in sync, and increases productivity in&#13;<br \/>\nbuilding prototypes and smart applications that are powered by AI and for data.&#13;<br \/>\nFor example, Sentient.io is helping analytics development teams in a local&#13;<br \/>\ndefence organisation to standardise access to APIs and data to enhance existing&#13;<br \/>\napplications and generate new values from their data assets.\u00a0 Sentient.io. will continue to advance its AI&#13;<br \/>\ncapabilities and develop businesses in the Manufacturing, Logistics and Digital&#13;<br \/>\nEconomy industries as an AI service provider.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-12-01\/107823\/seeds-capital-and-real-tech-fund-participate-in-ai-startup-sentient-io-in-its-series-b1-investment-round\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211;\u00a01 December 2021 &#8211;\u00a0Singapore-based&#13; AI startup, Sentient.io, announced today that SEEDS Capital, the investment arm&#13; of Enterprise Singapore, has invested in its Series B1 funding round following&#13; co-investor, Real Tech Fund.\u00a0 The new funds&#13; raised will be used for scaling the platform and business expansion into Asia&#13; Pacific markets, especially to fulfil the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19182"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
