Decision Intelligence leverages AI to support, optimise, and even automate complex data-driven decisions. The aim goes beyond merely making predictions; it focuses on generating actionable insights and concrete measures – particularly in dynamic planning and operational processes. Many experts attribute the same relevance to this technology as to Generative AI.

"With its patented and highly innovative technology, combined with a strong application focus, paretos has the best chance of taking on an international leadership role," said Andreas Unseld, General Partner at UVC Partners. And Nils Seele, Partner at LEA Partners, added: "After conceptualizing AI, it's now about transformation. Anyone looking for ROI in AI applications will find it at paretos."
