Element AI, a global developer of artificial intelligence-powered software solutions, raised $151m in Series B funding round.

We are proud to be working with our new partners, who understand this challenge well, and to leverage each other’s expertise in taking AI solutions to market.” Element AI CEO Jean-François Gagné.
