Viking Analytics wins Ignite Awards in the B2B Engagement category
Viking Analytics was one of the winders of the Ignite Awards 2021. In a ceremony on November 29th, the company received the Ignite B2B Engagement 2021, which recognizes startups that have met more corporations during the year.
The startup’s unique AI-based predictive maintenance software has been key to addressing needs from both Swedish and international enterprises. The output from 16 meetings in 2021 looks very promising, with several ongoing follow-up processes and at least one international pilot that has the potential to develop into a full rollout.
Stina Lantz, Program Manager at Ignite Sweden, said that “Viking Analytics has shown that it is possible to build a business based on applied AI. Being front-runners in this area, they have closed several deals with both Swedish and international large companies. Achieving this even during the pandemic!”
