Datenna equips allied governments with decision‑grade open‑source intelligence on China’s defense, technology, and economic landscape. Our platform collects information directly from Chinese public sources, normalizes it into a unified knowledge graph, and transforms raw records into transparent, auditable OSINT that analysts can trust. By avoiding reliance on third‑party vendors in China and going straight to the source, Datenna preserves provenance and reduces the risk of censorship or manipulation. The result is a continuously expanding dataset that supports high‑stakes missions where accuracy, coverage, and explainability matter.
At the core of the platform is scale and structure. Datenna curates more than one billion data points and provides deep coverage of entities and relationships across the Chinese system. Current holdings include insights on over 47 million companies, 75 million associated individuals, approximately 3 thousand research institutes, 45 million patents, roughly 3 million procurement records, and about 750 thousand state‑funded research projects. Proprietary AI enriches and links these sources, resolves entities, and scores potential connections between corporate and academic actors and China’s defense industrial base. This makes it possible to surface hidden ownership paths, grant and funding pipelines, technology transfer vectors, and other indicators relevant to military‑civil fusion.
Government users rely on Datenna for investment screening, export control enforcement, end‑use and end‑user checks, supply chain risk assessments, and monitoring of critical technologies. Analysts can track government‑backed R&D at scale, identify front companies or affiliated labs, and understand how capabilities evolve across sectors such as semiconductors, aerospace, AI, quantum, and advanced materials. The platform combines search, graph exploration, and dossier‑style profiles with source citations that enable rapid verification and confident decision making. Integrated watchlists, alerting, and casework tools help teams move from discovery to action without losing context.
Datenna delivers this capability through a secure web interface and API access for integration with analytic pipelines, data lakes, or case management systems. Bulk export options and reproducible queries support audit requirements and collaboration across agencies. The work is guided by a team with national security experience, technology policy expertise, and deep China knowledge. Together, these elements allow customers to map networks, quantify risk, and act with speed and precision using OSINT that is comprehensive, verifiable, and mission ready.
