Overview

Neo4j is the leader in graph database technology. As the world’s most widely deployed graph database, we help global brands – including Comcast, NASA, UBS and Volvo – to reveal and predict how people, processes and systems are interrelated. Using this relationships-first approach, applications built using Neo4j tackle connected data challenges such as analytics and artificial intelligence, fraud detection, real-time recommendations and knowledge graphs.

Our Vision: 

At Neo4j, we have always strived to help the world make sense of data.

As business, society and knowledge become increasingly connected, our technology promotes innovation by helping organizations to find and understand data relationships. We created, drive and lead the graph database category, and we’re disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive.

Our Community

One of the most important and foundational parts of Neo4j’s growth is our user community. The community brings together developers, data scientists, architects and graph enthusiasts from all countries and backgrounds. This makes it an incredible and rewarding experience to develop and drive initiatives enabling them to learn, teach, support each other, grow professionally and advocate for graphs as a great way to solve complex data challenges.

Moving towards a cloud-first and developer-focused offering for everyone makes the user community even more important for our and their success.
