Taiwanese startups you should know about: Part 1

In part one of a five part series we look at Appier, an artificial intelligence platform making waves in analysing consumer behaviour.

Taiwanese startup Appier develops artificial intelligence platforms that help businesses study consumer behaviour and make marketing decisions.
