COMUNICATO STAMPA – CONTENUTO PROMOZIONALE
HELSINKI, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Valona Intelligence today announced it has been named as a Leader in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Competitive and Market Intelligence (CMI) Platforms.
Gartner evaluates vendors based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Valona believes the Leader positioning reflects Valona’s two-decade commitment to providing decision-ready intelligence, combining AI-powered real-time market monitoring, deep industry specialization, and human analyst expertise into a single platform built for the world’s most complex organizations.
“You cannot shortcut 20 years. Most AI in this space is built on generic data. Ours is trained on two decades of curated, verified market and competitive intelligence that only comes from being the world’s leading platform in this field. With our latest acquisition of A-INSIGHTS we now deliver a trusted intelligence system that combines financial and trade data and the sharpest qualitative market insights in the world, so the organizations we serve can see what is shifting in their markets and what it would cost to miss it,” said Kimmo Havu, CEO of Valona.
Gartner states this transition is maximizing the consumption and impact of insights and shifting C&MI teams from content producers to curators and orchestrators of AI-driven knowledge.
Individual AI tools can produce research. What organizations need is intelligence that reaches the right people, in the right format, at the moment decisions are being made, automatically and at scale.
“Every validated insight Valona delivers is traceable to its source. This transparency provides a level of trust that high-stakes decisions require, which general-purpose AI tools cannot provide. Valona’s agentic framework and MCP integrations mean validated intelligence is now available directly inside customers’ own Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce, and other enterprise systems, providing instant value across the entire organisation,” adds Stuart Reynish, CPO of Valona.
