“We had the most innovations in the PIC’s history; 26 submissions and 23 proposals showing in the preliminary rounds, unfortunately we can only fit 6 innovators on the final stage. The final this time has not unexpectedly, got a healthy amount of AI across the innovations.  There is also focus on connectivity, recruitment, LQA, Video and content analysis – quite a spread of topics.   I want to extend our thanks to all those innovators who entered PIC #14. We are also delighted to have 3 fantastic dragons join us for the final; PIC previous winner Giulia, localization industry veteran Britta and previous PIC dragon, Esther have been asking the hard questions. The final in Malmö will be a must attend for anyone interested in seeing what is really innovating in our industry. See you there!”
