Silobreaker aggregates news, blogs, research, audio, video and other digital media content from global news, shared, user generated and open access sources around the world.

Silobreaker looks at the data it finds like a person does. It recognises things - companies, people, topics, places - and puts them in context. Who are the key players in the Middle East peace process? Which companies have been affected by the M&A activity in the steel industry? Where in the world is that place that was hit by a hurricane? Who are the most prominent car manufacturers in research news about hybrid cars? By filtering out the noise and building up a meaningful picture from the information that matters, Silobreaker enables you to spend more time learning from the web, and less time searching it.

Silobreaker takes this philosophy and applies it to current events, focusing on the topics of business, global issues and science & technology. It takes information from news sites, blogs, academic research and multimedia sources, presenting you with an unparalleled insight into the stories of the day.

Our key focus is to enable you to spend more time finding the information you need, and less time searching for it. That's why, in addition to our unique search technology, Silobreaker employs a team of researchers dedicated to producing fact sheets and biographies on key organisations and individuals, which are combined in our search results.
