What keeps coming back
Junior Achievement, or its European branch, appears in five of them, on its own or alongside SAP®, Accenture or Intel. Intel has recognised us three times, twice at its AI impact festival. And StartUB!, from the Universitat de Barcelona, is behind two more.
There is room for tourism too: the EcoTour Challenge 2025 came from the Agència Catalana de Turisme.
A moment in a photo
The image on this story is from the JA StartUp Programme 2025: several people on stage, in front of a screen showing the Link3rs logo and the name of the University of Barcelona. It is the same one that sits next to the awards heading on About.
That Junior Achievement programme is part of our story for another reason: in 2025 we provided live captions there, the same year as at the first Talent Arena and at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
What we do today
Each recognition came at a different stage. Today the work shows at events: AI interpretation that attendees hear or read on their phone with Speech, and subtitles on the event’s screens with Captions, in more than 60 languages.
