Artificial intelligence is the buzzword in the business and tech world, but, is it truly useful for small and medium-sized businesses? There is still a lot of uncertainty about what these solutions can do in a purely business context. Add to that that Spanish SMBs often lack the budget or the time to invest in complex AI tools.
From MuyPymes, a few months ago we launched the SMB AI Contest, where startups operating in Spain presented their AI ideas that were already working in small and medium businesses. Of all of them, our team selected eight finalist projects, whose ideas we’ve captured in this ebook. Here you’ll see the product sheets with the most interesting data and practical examples of how they’ve been implemented in SMBs.
What’s the next step?
From MuyPymes we’ve chosen these eight projects for their usefulness and innovation, but we’d like to go one step further: we’d love for you to help us pick the most interesting of them all. To do that, everyone who downloads the ebook will receive an email inviting you to vote for your favorite. The project with the most points will be added to those considered by our panel of experts. The winner will be the one with the most votes by the end of September.
The experts who will analyze the projects are:
- David Barbero García, COO of f4startups. Architect in innovation financing; design, structuring, and execution of financing architectures for innovative companies.
- Emilio Corchado, CEO of Startup Olé. Founder & CEO of the Startup Olé accelerator; Director of the Startup Olé Festival programs and the accelerator for startups partnering with large companies and institutions.
- Diego E. Rodríguez. An expert in helping SMBs professionalize their commercial development, streamline their growth, and build a structure that enables them to sell better, decide better, and grow with a methodology.
