AI startup Anthropic, currently valued at $183 billion, is rapidly advancing its global business footprint and intends to triple its international workforce by 2025. Additionally, the company plans to expand its applied AI team by a factor of five. Presently, Anthropic's international business is thriving beyond expectations, with nearly 80% of its usage activity stemming from regions outside the United States. The company has already established a strong presence in Europe, Japan, and other key markets, where its AI platform, Claude, is being swiftly adopted in sectors such as life sciences.
To further bolster its global reach, Anthropic is ramping up recruitment efforts in major international markets. It has recently set up an Asian office in Tokyo and is expanding its operations across Europe. This overseas expansion is taking place amidst intense competition in the enterprise AI market, where Anthropic has achieved impressive results, with its annualized revenue recently hitting the $5 billion mark.
Anthropic is committed to delivering a "pure AI experience" to its users. Its applied AI team plays a pivotal role in helping clients deploy Claude on a large scale. Meanwhile, rival OpenAI is also making strides in expanding its international enterprise business. Claude has already yielded significant benefits for its global clientele, including time savings for Norges Bank Investment Management, reduced processing times for Novo Nordisk, and the rapid growth of its coding tool, Claude Code.
