Small business is often relied upon to create new innovations and create jobs for the nation as a whole. Discovery Machine has embraced that challenge and succeeded on both fronts. Discovery Machine has remained dedicated to innovation and improvement in their main product the Knowledge Service Modeler. The company has continually made advances in their state-of-the-art artificial intelligence software, to make it even easier for companies to capture knowledge from their experts and deploy that knowledge as artificial intelligence in a variety of outlets, including training simulations, decision-support aids, and process improvement.
These efforts are not without results as Discovery Machine has been recognized by various organizations and publications for their positive impact on Pennsylvania’s economy. Among those to recognize Discovery Machine’s efforts are the Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and the Keystone Edge eNewsletter. “We are very appreciative of the support we have received from the area and look forward to further innovation and growth in the region”, said Anna Griffith, CEO of Discovery Machine.

Discovery Machine Honored with Innovation Award
