Bilbao, June 29th, 2017 – SHERPA, the predictive Artificial Intelligence platform, has been recognised as one of the best European startups, winning three major awards in the past two months. SHERPA, a personal assistant which integrates with smart devices, has been awarded the Red Herring Europe Winner 2017, the White Bull Award 2017 and the Best Mobile App Award.
The Red Herring Top 100 Europe celebrates the top private companies in the European region. Red Herring’s editorial team analyses hundreds of cutting edge companies and technologies and selects those that are positioned to grow at an explosive rate.
The White Bull Awards, held in association with the multinational Qualcomm, bring together Europe’s top technology and media leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and visionaries. They select the best startups in Europe based on the criteria of innovation, leadership, growth and potential for growth.
CognitionX, in association with the Alan Turing Institute, awards the best and most innovative contributions to Artificial Intelligence of the year in a ceremony in London. SHERPA was shortlisted in the Best Innovation in Artificial Intelligence category, surpassed only by Google Deep Mind.
Following on from these successes, SHERPA’s mobile app has won the Best Mobile App Interface Award.
