A twitter conversation on European Big Data Companies
Although most of the Big Data players are US-based, there are a number of companies in Europe.
@LutzFinger asked me on Twitter about
European players in Big Data, and I suggested a couple of European Conferences
@LutzFinger noted that the conferences are quite US-dominated. The only european players seem to be
@BYAnalytics,
@ParStream,
Q5 AG (Zurich based)
@mikaelhuss
made a list of Swedish big data companies
followthedata.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/big-data-companies-in-sweden/
Mikael also commented that although most companies on his list are now based on the US, many (most?) were started in Sweden, including Recorded Future & Spotify.
@BrianAtSumerian
added Sumerian, based in Scotland - Big Data IT analytics across customer base in Europe & US.
www.Sumerian.com
@alex_mikhalev pointed to his company,
Shopitize, London, UK
@atveit added
@atbrox,
www.atbrox.com.
Atbrox is based in Norway, and they specialize in hadoop/big data and search.
I think it will be fair to add telecom giants Ericsson (based in Sweden) and Nokia (based in Finland)
to European big data companies.
@aghilmort said:
www.datamarket.com is one such company; more data than analytics, IRIC
