2. Overview

In 2023, 1415 logos appear on the landscape. Actually, there are 1366 companies/products, some of which appear in two or more categories.

As they said “We’re based in the US, so we probably over-emphasize US startups. “(-Company selection)

So, Almost all of them are US companies/products.

There are also 18 Chinese companies/products on the 2023 landscape, but there are no more renowned hi-tech companies, such as Alibaba and Baidu, that provide cloud services in industry and analytics.

Here a picture shows some change in “Infrastructure” & “Analytics”

Thoughts:

  1. Based on the 2023 interactive version, it could be enhanced as a “MAD-wiki” product that would include more global companies and products and provide additional functionalities.:
    • Search / Filter
    • VC label: VCs like
    • Year Version
    • …
  2. Recently, I have been conducting research on BI platforms and data visualizations of well-known technology companies in China. Perhaps, I will share some thoughts or data later.
    • Tencent：RayData, Tencent Cloud Visualization, BI
    • Huawei: DLV
    • ByteDance: DataWind
    • Alibaba: Quick BI, DataV
    • …
