Oxford University big data spinout Zegami launches its global expansion efforts, despite only being a few months old.
Zegami, a UK-based data discovery spinout from Oxford University, has selected database and application management company Blue Crystal Solutions to resell its software in Australia as a first step towards global expansion.
Zegami, spun out from the Computational Biology Research Group in February 2016, has created technology to quickly search and catalogue large sets of data, specifically images, movies and 3D objects, and present them in a usable way.
The software is able to save companies money in terms of both research and man hours. The software can also be combined with machine learning and image-based analysis.
Zegami also plans to expand to the rest of the world.
In February 2016, Oxford University’s £320m Oxford Sciences Innovation fund and Parkwalk Advisors’ Oxford University Isis Fund II invested an undisclosed amount in Zegami.
Vito Rinaldi, managing director of Blue Crystal Solutions, said: “We are thrilled to have been selected to be a key partner of Zegami. In any meeting we are in, as soon as we start running a demo of Zegami’s capabilities our clients’ face’s light up. Zegami is making databases a little bit sexy!”
