Artefact today announces the acquisition of Startup Inside

Artefact在16个国家开展业务的数据服务咨询公司，今天宣布收购Startup Inside，该公司是开放式创新和企业内部战略咨询的先驱，也是处理数据和人工智能国际会议和智库的领导者。

去年12月，Artefact ，在两个投资基金的成功收购后，退出了巴黎泛欧交易所的股票交易。欧洲领先的私募股权公司Ardian和主要活跃在亚洲的国泰资本。自那时起，Ardian和Cathay Capital一直在支持Artefact的管理层进入加速增长的新阶段，并实现其成为数据咨询领域世界领导者之一的目标。这一行动使Artefact 投资于一个雄心勃勃的招聘计划，并启动了积极的并购政策，旨在巩固仍然高度分散的数据服务市场。

Artefact previously acquired Viva Data, a company specialized in data science training, then launched the Artefact School of Data in 2021. Artefact Africa was also recently integrated into the Group.

收购Startup Inside是一个新的里程碑，因为它扩大了Artefact"的服务范围，并通过智囊团、国际会议和促进大型组织创新的黑客活动，加强了其作为数据生态系统前沿的有影响力的角色。

The Startup Inside group was founded in 2016 by Damien Gromier and Lorenzo Croati, who designed and deployed an approach called the “Startup experience”. Their system aims to communicate and impart the working methods of the startup world to employees of large international organizations in order to instill an entrepreneurial spirit. Their methodology has been extensively tested within these groups through the production of over 400 ideathons and hackathons, stimulating the creation of innovative projects and the identification and prioritization of use cases with strong business, environmental and social impact.

Partners since the 2018 creation of AI night, Artefact and Startup Inside share the conviction that the key to organizations’ performance lies in their ability to put their beneficiaries (customers or users) at the center of any innovation process, and to focus on speed of execution.

Startup Inside也是将各种数据参与者（初创企业、大公司、技术合作伙伴以及政府机构和研究中心）围绕高级别活动和会议联合起来的专家，使其成为生态系统的重要支柱之一。

Startup Inside被公认为是法国创建数据和人工智能智囊团和生态系统会议的领导者，例如与联合国教科文组织和联合国环境规划署合作创建的国际人工智能地球会议、欧洲人工智能金融会议和人工智能健康智囊团，这些会议每年都有成千上万的专家和决策者参加。

The group will draw on the unique expertise of Startup Inside to develop new communities of experts and ecosystem events in the various territories where the company is established (United States, United Kingdom, Middle East, Asia, …). Road shows will also enhance the company’s influence and evangelization of the European data market.
