Dr Dario Landa-Silva and Dr Daniel Soria have been awarded a KTP grant for a project combining optimisation and data analytics for business intelligence. The project “Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics with Optimisation for Business Intelligence” in collaboration with PXtech Ltd,  will seek to enable the development of predictive and prescriptive analytics with optimisation capability to maintain PXtech leading industry position as a Business Intelligence Solution provider through the application of advanced data analysis, data mining, machine learning, modelling and optimisation techniques.
