In this landmark year at Qlik, we celebrated three decades of innovation, strategic foresight, and unwavering commitment to transforming data into actionable insights.

Our journey, from our humble beginnings to becoming a pivotal force in the analytics and data integration domain, reflects a deep-seated dedication to empowering our customers through technology. This year, we not only commemorated our past achievements but also laid a robust foundation for a future where data, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) coalesce to redefine the landscape of business intelligence.

The acquisition of Talend, a strategic move aimed at enriching our data integration capabilities, signifies a leap towards realizing a comprehensive suite of solutions that cater to the evolving demands of an AI-driven market. This integration bolsters our portfolio with advanced data quality, governance, and management tools, essential for building the trustworthy data foundation that AI applications necessitate. It's a testament to our foresight in recognizing the indispensable role of high-quality data as the backbone of effective AI deployment.

2023 has been a watershed year for Generative AI, with its rapid ascent into the mainstream spotlight. This shift has not only captured the imagination of the tech world but also underscored the critical need for organizations to harness AI responsibly and effectively. At Qlik, our position at the nexus of data integration, analytics, and AI has never been more crucial. We have become directly relevant to the burgeoning needs of AI, particularly in ensuring the availability of clean, well-organized, and reliable data. Our focus has shifted towards fully embracing AI, recognizing it as the definitive future of our company and the technology landscape at large.

Our unique approach, characterized by a blend of innovation and pragmatism, has enabled us to forge a path where AI's potential can be unlocked responsibly. We emphasize the ethical integration and application of AI technologies, guided by a philosophy that places equal importance on human oversight and advanced algorithms. This balanced approach ensures that our solutions are not just technologically advanced but also aligned with our core values of trust, integrity, and customer centricity.

Moreover, our engagement with the broader societal implications of AI and data analytics underscores our commitment to corporate responsibility. Our partnerships with non-profit organizations, aimed at leveraging data for social good, highlight our belief in the power of technology to make a positive impact on the world.

As we look to the future, our strategic orientation remains focused on harnessing the transformative power of AI, analytics, and data integration to empower businesses and organizations worldwide. Our roadmap is clear—continue to innovate, anticipate market needs, and provide our customers with the tools and insights required to navigate the complexities of an increasingly data-driven world. This vision is supported by our talented team, whose dedication and expertise have been the driving force behind our success.

The journey of Qlik, from its inception to its current stature, is a narrative of relentless pursuit of excellence, adaptation to change, and foresight into the technological advancements shaping our world. Our efforts to democratize data, make AI accessible, and ensure the ethical use of technology reflect our dedication to not just leading the market but also shaping the future of how businesses leverage data.

As we step into the future, we will continue to embrace a profound responsibility towards global citizenship. This past year, our commitment to utilizing data for social good has been evidenced through our support for hundreds of non-profit organizations worldwide. We are especially proud of our collaborative efforts with the United Nations, C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, and Direct Relief. These partnerships, aimed at tackling climate challenges and providing aid during the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, are a testament to our belief in the power of data to enact positive change.

The union of Qlik and Talend has not only broadened our technological horizons but also reinforced our dedication to leveraging our collective strengths for the greater good.

Looking ahead, I am filled with optimism about the potential of our combined efforts to foster a more equitable and sustainable world.
