Yuka represents a new type of solution that brings technological solutions to people’s preoccupations. Thanks to data and digital, the start-up wants to resolve a daily informational concern. The need to stay independent, the data challenge and the increase in competitors are challenges that Yuka needs to faced, while remaining faithful to its initial commitments to bring a new tool to customers to make a choice.
