2016 Finalists

The AIconics are the world’s only independently-judged awards celebrating the drive, innovation and hard work in the international Artificial Intelligence Community, with the winners announced exclusively at The AI Summit.

At The AI Summit European flagship in London back in May, AI Business received a huge number of AIconics entries across the AI technology vendor spectrum active in the UK and Europe – from the freshest startups all the way through to longstanding innovators such as IAG, DRYiCE by HCL Technologies and Artificial Solutions.

Since then, we have seen an already-bulging ecosystem explode, and ahead of The AI Summit in San Francisco entry numbers have reached a record high of 100+, resulting in an even more impressive range of AI solutions that are finding enterprise applications.

The awards feature six categories, recognising industry leaders across a broad spectrum of AI technologies, and today we are very excited to announce that the finalists for each category are the following:
