QinetiQ, a global integrated defense and security company, and Adarga, a U.K.-based artificial intelligence (AI) software developer, have entered into a strategic partnership to use AI to harness the power of data for the defense and security markets. According to officials, the collaboration will aim to accelerate the deployment of cutting-edge AI capabilities, intended to enable information to be exploited at speed to counter threats. Adarga's cutting-edge AI software combines Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, and network science technology to automate the analysis of vast amounts of information at high speed, aiming to help organizations to discover the deep and critical insights that drive decision making. QinetiQ's experience in deploying innovative information systems within the sector will aim to ensure more organizations can quickly utilize Adarga's platform by integrating with existing enterprise technology and building further trust and assurance in the performance of the software.

AI startup Adarga has sealed a £5 million Series A fundraising by Allectus Capital. But this news cloaks the point that it has been developing a source of steam since its founding in 2016. Building up what they say is a £30 million-plus sales pipeline through meaningful collaborations with several global industrial associates and slowly creating its management team. The profits will be used to maintain the increase of Adarga's data science and software engineering teams and will roll out globally. Adarga, which originates from the word for an old Moorish guard, is a London and Bristol-based startup.

AI startup Adarga has closed a £5 million Series A fundraising by Allectus Capital. But this news rather cloaks the fact that it has been building up a head of steam since its founding in 2016, building up what they say is a £30 million-plus sales pipeline through strategic collaborations with a number of global industrial partners and gradually building its management team. The proceeds will be used to continue the expansion of Adarga's data science and software engineering teams and to roll out internationally. Adarga, which comes from the word for an old Moorish shield, is a London and Bristol-based startup. It uses AI to change the way financial institutions, intelligence agencies and defence companies tackle problems, helping crunch vast amounts of data to identify possible threats even before they occur.
