Regulatory Analytics: Stories of Technology Innovations Driving Transformation in Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory Analytics is a growing category of information analysis which involves gathering and storing relevant data and mining it for patterns, discrepancies and anomalies. Advanced analytic solutions and new technologies are transforming what were previously manual, slow, costly processes helping to glean insights from mountains of records collected across organisations delivering wholesale change in how regulatory compliance challenges are managed.
This event brought together speakers from regulated industries such as Agtech, Pharma, and Higher Education to illustrate how cutting edge technologies such as Machine Learning, AI and Blockchain are driving transformation and innovation within these regulated environments.
Attendees were able to interact and explore innovations in Data Science in our live demo showcase, while networking with peers.
