Valona Intelligence, a Forrester Wave leader in competitive and market intelligence solutions, and A-INSIGHTS, a fast-growing market intelligence platform, today announced a strategic merger that establishes an unparalleled intelligence solution for globally operating enterprises.
The combined entity unites Valona’s AI-powered real-time insights and competitive analysis with A-INSIGHTS’ quantitative expertise in market sizing, competitor financials, and trade flow analysis. Together, the companies will serve more than 400 global enterprises, providing the clarity and agility leaders need to make confident, data-driven decisions in rapidly shifting markets.
"This merger creates a new intelligence paradigm," said Kimmo Havu, CEO of Valona. "We're now bringing to market what the C-suite customers have been requesting for a long time: one source of truth that shows both where markets are heading and exactly how big their next opportunities are; the foresight they trust from Valona, now with the quantitative precision they need to act decisively."
"Our customers tell us they're making new strategy plans before the ink is dry on the previous one," said Jeroen Lustig, CEO and Co-founder of A-INSIGHTS. "Their real problem is not the uncertainty and volatility they are faced with, but a lack of process and infrastructure to keep up with it. That's our mission: to build the definitive foundation for the intelligence function, similar to what CRMs have become for commercial teams."
"The combined entity enters the global market from a position of strength," said Martin Henricson, Chairman of the Board of Valona. "Valona brings Forrester Wave leadership and AI capabilities, while A-INSIGHTS contributes unique industry datasets to deliver intelligence that enables organizations to understand and anticipate market opportunities in a world of increasing uncertainty."
