15 New Startups Join the Swedish AI Startup Landscape

AI Sweden and Ignite Sweden has launched a new update of the Swedish AI Startup Landscape with the addition of 15 new AI startups. 198 companies are now part of the Landscape.

“We know that AI startups play an important role in creating innovation and growth in the field of AI. Through the European AI Startup Landscape initiative, we help shine a light on AI startups across Europe. We believe the landscape is a brilliant marketing channel targeting international investors and potential customers, thus helping the featured AI startups to accelerate and grow,” says Katarina Fégeant, Startup Program Manager at AI Sweden.

The Swedish landscape is part of the European AI Startup Landscape that today features 800+ AI startups from France, Germany, Norway, The Netherlands and Sweden.

Startups With A Wide Range Of Solutions

A committee with representatives from investors, large companies, academia, startups, and incubators has been responsible for the evaluation of the new startups in the landscape. They have been using a range of selection criteria including, their use of AI, scalability, access to and use of data, and their personnel’s AI skills.

These new startups develop solutions for a wide range of sectors including education, entertainment, forestry, health, manufacturing, real estate, transportation and security.

One of the new startups in this update is DBtune, which offers database tuning software as a service, helping users to automatically train recommendation models, driving up to a 50% reduction in annual infrastructure costs.

“As part of the Swedish AI Startup Landscape, we are really excited to have the opportunity to get to know new partners and potential customers who could benefit from what we do. We are at a critical stage of our journey and are hoping to scale our reach and visibility within the Swedish and the European startup entrepreneurial communities and establish ourselves as one of the leading AI deeptech technology players in the EU,” says CEO and Founder, Luigi Nardi.

“For our startup, spending time with Sweden’s AI elite is a given. I hope the landscape can help us create a strong European voice and best practice for ethical AI,” says Mathias Andreasson, CEO and Founder of Fictive Reality, a learning and assessment dialogue simulator powered by AI technology.

According to Magnus Lasses, Product Manager at Laholm based startup Meta Bytes, the landscape also gives visibility to tech businesses located outside big cities that might not be top-of-mind when it comes to AI and tech. 

Meta Bytes develops Bäck AI, a product that helps companies regardless of location accelerate their document workflow by reducing the time spent on manual data input.

“To be featured in the Swedish AI Startup Landscape is a confirmation of our tech know-how and expertise when it comes to artificial intelligence, and a great way to showcase our valuable product at a national and European level among other cool Swedish AI startups,” he concludes.
