We told you a few weeks ago that Dive Medical, startup promoted by researchers from the IIS Aragón and the Aragón Engineering Research Institute of the University of Zaragoza, had been awarded in Silicon Valley among more than 500 candidates with one of the three awards in the Startup category. We leave you this news that 'El Mundo' has published to collect this great milestone!
News The World:
In the Santander X Global Awards, which in this call revolved around the topic The AI Revolution, 540 participated startups y scaleups of all the world. It was about competing with business projects that used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to respond to some of the great challenges that society and the planet will have to face in the coming years. And the winners were going to be announced on a stage for big occasions when it comes to innovation: the Microsoft campus in Silicon Valley.
The truth is that the Spanish candidates swept the field. Of the six awards that were awarded in the two categories, our representatives took three, half. Or what is the same, of the 120.000 euros at stake (30.000 each of the three scaleups awarded and 10.000 the startups) we pocketed 70.000.
On the one hand, the national startup Dive Medical which has developed “a universal solution to comprehensively evaluate visual function in pediatric and non-cooperative patients. The Mexican accompanied her on the podium Biogrip, who uses AI and IoT to create artificial limbs and rehabilitation devices; and the British Heartfelt Technologies, which has created an automatic, contactless telemonitoring system for patients with heart failure.
By another Las scaleups españolas Orchestra (which optimizes business profitability through automated planning of your employees' tasks) and Legitimate health (an app that improves the rate of accurate medical diagnoses by facilitating the collection of accurate and reliable clinical data) took two of the three awards in the category. The third in contention was the American company Splight, which uses AI to allow users to capture, monetize and utilize the energy generated.
More than money
Along with the cash prize, the winners will be able to access Santander X100, the Bank's most outstanding entrepreneurial projects community; and Microsoft's Open AI API upon company approval, as well as the opportunity to submit to M12, the venture capital of technology.
"The cash prizes, but above all the resources and visibility that the winners will receive, we hope that it will be, beyond a value for their growth, the beginning of a very fruitful relationship with Santander," said Diego Calascibetta, global director of Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation of the financial entity.
