spk_4: yeah morning picture taken my question i guess first item you mention that europe could be as large potentially of us market price ten percent of the country today is coming from that region will be walk through kind of what what to refund hiring plan to ban to expand in that market one other digital investments are you expecting over the next couple years and then ultimately kind of what what kind of revenue growth or other growth metrics you can share i'm are you expecting and both twenty three and and maybe twenty four
spk_5: from europe specifically thank you
spk_3: yeah that he'd appreciate question ah i think the first thing that we have been in the european market for a couple of years now ah me started off in the brussels market but i really looking at european commission information european data information or in addition to our information coming from different member states naturally just reflection of the continued expansion of the data are an opportunity to be see a overall market additionally over the course last couple of years we have made a number of acquisition in the european market that have expand the scope of our footprint as well the customer pay for we have in the marketplace sell i'll point you to copy company like oxford politika a dragonfly most recent acquisition rpg global and others and that had expanded a footprint throughout the united kingdom as well as a western and eastern europe and those acquisition by themselves actually constitutes a beginning foundation to the we will wifi at a larger european opportunity ah and phil couple different things the first thing in are just the continued application of our technology in the european market in a block you add more data for customers the second thing it's just that's the reality there's a large number multinational company for european governments are the we continue to be able to sit of bring into our overall customer roster i were not really good thing guidance right now particular to european market but it is very big focus of ours as your team i did something that will continue to keep an eye on here
spk_4: okay little about and then when you look at the recent a partnership announcement with open a i am and or expanded on a little bit i'm on the colbert curious in terms of how how you're thinking about that being sort of a product or monetizing that partnership is it something that you know eventually you'll you'll turn into or or build out specific use cases or or products around or use really geared towards enhancing the current platform and just sort of pushing ahead on on your competitive advantage there in which you know you can either cross our would have been more bad or raise prices over time to include that functionality
spk_3: yeah so i think the first thing about the partnership that we have with open ai is just really that's a reflection of the decade log investment that we've made in artificial intelligence and data collection be making in the legal regulatory space as you mentioned in a press release we are the only legal regulatory partner after open a i partnered crunch yeah tpp plugin up program your brawl felt ah there's a couple of different areas that we're really looking out for the first is enhancements the customer experiences so we are in a situation right now as the technology industry where interactions with computers are fundamentally changing what we're seeing the opportunity to enhance customers dance with experiences like rapidly on n b inclusion of the new technologies it's just another reflection of the continuing ability to innovate for the future and actually bring in some he still believes right we talked a couple of a cop about a couple of the think a earlier in the call things like personalization better search relevant be a better or efficient the in terms of data collection on those are all areas where customers are going to see improvements as a result of ah you know the data collection efforts that we have a lot broader partnerships we have included a lot of open a i am i think the lot yeah i do want to touch on it on the like i briefly touched on him my my early remarks which is that we do expect to see
spk_2: some efficiency it's from automation as well and to with common form of things like i'm factor your type the market are reduced aren't expensive that our product cycle innovation and those think all have direct impact on our income statement and of course i'm the combination of better customer experience experiences and more efficient are the operation
spk_3: are we do expect to see you know a real impact of what it does it's overall here
spk_5: great and then about your screws one last one and around the yes be gets issues going on there is any impact that you're seeing and the i'm in a pipeline directly from bad or valuation serve retail i guess resetting lower or not some of the fallout
spk_4: there any update on the i'm in a pipeline around sort of recent events would be very helpful thank you
spk_3: yeah i don't think that the stp situation has had a as material impact on emanate but i will comment that from a macro economic perspective we are seeing a large number of deals come across or in boxes and so as we evaluate those deals we have been a materials shift in terms of expectation front of folks ah as well as the expectations are structure price or whatever the case may be we are constantly diving deals every single week and we are trying to make good decisions around to take the market you want to be in touch the product you want to be an ah but of course the way to restructure structure those deal to minimize to wish for shareholders i'm an ultimately your tried to most equity life for the business sell on a short no impact met vp by obviously there are broader macro economic impact year
spk_5: great thank you
spk_0: our next question comes from like lot more from northland capital markets to go ahead your line it up and
spk_3: thank you again threaten the of the strong finish the the are there i guess just gonna last comment there so he said it saw material shifted expectations the basically the is the point there that just valuation expectations have been coming down a to hear that the the point
