Sparky, Jyväskylä, Finland
Precision Phage, Jyväskylä, Finland
Neuwo, Jyväskylä, Finland
ImpactOS by AskKauko, Helsinki, Finland
ACT Head Impact Tracker, Helsinki, Finland
ONIT Sport, Järvenpää, Finland

Neuwo stands out by offering a unique advantage in contextual targeting for publishers. Unlike its competitors, Neuwo enriches publishers’ metadata instead of crawling or scraping it away. Neuwo’s powerful NLP algorithms create semantical understanding from the text and identify keywords, entities, sentiment, and other relevant attributes like IAB -contextual taxonomy tier levels.

About Neuwo
Neuwo is a leading contextual artificial intelligence engine for content classification and brand safety. Publishers and ad-tech companies are facing a significant challenge with the deprecation of tracking cookies. Due to that, the online advertisement must move from targeting based on behavior to focusing on user interest. This means contextual targeting. Now there are companies that crawl and scrape publishers’ websites and then sell analysed info back to them. Overall this will lead to a huge loss of advertisement income and so moving contents behind payment walls.Neuwo stands out by offering a unique advantage in contextual targeting for publishers. Unlike its competitors, Neuwo enriches publishers’ metadata instead of crawling or scraping it away. Neuwo’s powerful NLP algorithms create semantical understanding from the text and identify keywords, entities, sentiment, and other relevant attributes like IAB -contextual taxonomy tier levels.
