    [SINGAPORE] Artificial intelligence (AI) has a symbiotic relationship with data – and data management platform Snowflake has taken this ball and run with it.

    From leveraging cloud computing for data analysis to now managing both structured and unstructured data for companies, Snowflake has evolved its business. Structured data is information that fits neatly into formats that machines can understand; unstructured data is information that does not.

    Although revenue jumped 29 per cent to US$3.6 billion for FY2025 ended Jan 31 from US$2.8 billion the year before, the company’s losses are widening. Snowflake reported a loss of US$1.3 billion in FY2025, surpassing the US$836.1 million loss in FY2024.
