Big Data gains momentum in Real Estate thanks to Alantra and uDA

Big Data is present in our lives and, albeit silently, so are algorithms. They are invisible to our eyes, but they are behind numerous activities that we carry out on a daily basis and dominate, to a certain extent, our daily lives, which is a clear and unequivocal symbol of the automation of society and industry. Big Data will be a determining factor in building value in today's environment, facilitating decision making at every stage of the investment cycle.

Continuing this trend, Alantra is a national company, specialising in financial products and serviceswhich has acquired, through its credit and real estate advisory division, a majority stake in Urban Data Analytics, also a Spanish company, which is also a Spanish company. offers Big Data solutions and artificial intelligence capabilities for the real estate market. Through more than 40 public and private sources, it develops 190 indicators, generating algorithms to maximise the return on real estate investments.
