Artificial Intelligence Breakthroughs Lead to Unprecedented M&A Growth, Reveals Hampleton Partners’ Report

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Hampleton Partners’ latest analysis of the Artificial Intelligence M&A market reveals that over 150 deals were disclosed in 2018, up from 105 deals in 2017. The first half of 2019 is also showing impressive AI-related M&A momentum, with 65 deals already recorded and a total of near 100 deals forecast for the half-year only. In terms of market value, AI is forecast to grow from $21.46 billion in 2018 to $190 billion by 2025 – in other words, to grow nine-fold over the next seven-year period[1].

Heiko Garrelfs, sector principal, Hampleton Partners, said:
“Q1 2019 has set the pace for the rest of the year, with record-breaking M&A transaction volumes in two of three artificial intelligence sub-sectors. With the growth and competitiveness of many industries now dependent on the development of these AI technologies, strategic investors across all sectors and continents are stepping up their acquisitions and investments.

“Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest-moving sectors, thriving off great momentum and yielding game-changing outcomes.”

Artificial intelligence has moved from the experimental into the developmental phase of the innovation cycle. As the application of AI grows increasingly widespread across almost all verticals, several industries are now dependent on AI advancements to ensure their growth and competitiveness, including autonomous vehicles, IoT, healthtech, e-commerce, insurance and smart cities.

These industries look for artificial intelligence that can propel their next technology push, improve efficiency and productivity, streamline business models, and reduce latency and fragmentation.

Machine data analysis and edge AI
The first quarter of 2019 has proven a record period in M&A transaction volume for the machine data analysis sector with 46 deals.

Machine data analysis has recently shown an inclination towards Edge AI – i.e. running AI algorithms on edge devices such as smartphones or cars, rather than communicating with a central cloud or server – which allows devices to safeguard privacy, avoiding the purported insecurity of cloud-based data systems.

Edge computing also allows devices to process information locally and respond more quickly, which is vital for the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and autonomous vehicle technology, where immediate response is a necessity.

Computer vision
Computer vision experienced a stellar half-year in 2H 2018, mainly owing to growth in hot trends such as facial recognition, check-out-free retail or motion analysis, all of which enable the collection of more insights and provide information for future market opportunities.

Facial recognition is fast becoming a dominant form of biometric authentication, with early commercial applications in security, retail, payments and consumer electronics – Apple’s latest smartphone technology for Face ID logins and payments being one of the commercially popular use-cases. Retailers are also adopting the technology to recognise returning customers – a strategy used to offer special discounts as part of loyalty programmes.

Furthermore, as increasingly smart city infrastructure adopts security cameras, video analytics can be widely applied using facial recognition to detect and track offenders or suspects in public spaces.

Language analysis and conversational AI
Global tech companies east and west have focused heavily on Conversational AI. Google’s integration of Duplex – its new AI-driven automated reservation-making system – into the Pixel 3 smartphone, transformed the Google handheld device into an AI powerhouse.

However, Apple’s Siri has lagged far behind Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant in terms of voice recognition ability and development. It was no surprise, therefore, that in February 2019 Apple acquired PullString, a speech recognition software development SaaS which enables businesses to build interrelated applications for IoT devices.

Many companies believe the problem is not the speech recognition technology itself, but the lack of focus and reasoning within these systems. As a result, intent detection – i.e. the ability to determine from context what the user wants – has become the new research focus area for speech recognition start-ups who are willing to challenge the hegemons and fill in the gaps in big tech AI.

Innocan Pharma Reports Breakthrough in a Pre-Clinical Trial: Liposomal-CBD Injection Restores Mobility to an Amputee Female Donkey

HERZLIYA, Israel and ALGARY, AB, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (OTCQB: INNPF) (“Innocan” or the “Company”), a pioneer in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, is pleased to announce the successful pre-clinical treatment with a liposomal-CBD injection in a female donkey. Innocan’s innovative therapy provided immediate noticeable pain relief and improved mobility.

Miri, a 7-year-old female donkey, underwent amputation of her right front limb at a young age, resulting in a weight burden primarily borne by her left front limb. Consequently, she developed laminitis in her left front limb, an inflammatory disease affecting the soft tissue that connects the foot bone to the hoof, seemingly causing extreme pain and limited mobility. Over time, Miri’s condition worsened, culminating in the formation of a abscess in the affected hoof, which appeared to have intensified her pain. Despite receiving pain relief medications, Miri found no respite, was unable to move, and her caregivers were advised to euthanize her.

As an act of compassionate therapy, the female donkey was administered a liposomal-CBD injection. The effect was immediate, with Miri becoming active and roaming the farm. Following the liposomal-CBD injection, the abscess in her affected foot healed, and Miri regained her ability to walk and move as she did before her laminitis developed.

“Thanks to our innovative liposomal-CBD injection, we are thrilled to have brought relief to Miri, eliminating the need for euthanasia,” commented Iris Bincovich, CEO of Innocan. “Once again, Innocan has shown liposomal-CBD to be effectively active for pain relief and well-being. We see this pre-clinical treatment as strong evidence of liposomal-CBD’s potential to improve the lives of animal patients and potentially human patients.”

“Laminitis is a crippling condition well familiar and common in horses,” said Prof Chezy Barenholz, the Chief Scientific Officer of Innocan. “The disease results in severe pain condition, representing another big market for liposomal-CBD with great potential to treat horses. Innocan is dedicated to advancing the development of CBD-based therapeutics for various indications in both humans and animals.”
