Livespace - Sell Smarter and IDEAS NCBR join forces to improve sales process management using AI! 🚀   Research and development work will be carried out as part of the EXALT (EXplainable ALgorithmic Tools) project, led by Piotr Sankowski - president of IDEAS NCBR. The project aims to create tools based on explainable algorithms that will revolutionize sales processes, making them more predictable and repeatable.   The project will begin by using anonymized data to train a library of algorithms, which will then be tested internally by LiveSpace. 📈 The effects of these activities will open the way to commercial applications.    "Cooperation with IDEAS NCBR will allow us to better understand how salespeople work and draw more conclusions from the data. Currently, there are no algorithmic solutions that meet our needs. Combining our experience with the competences of the IDEAS NCBR team will enable the creation of a solution that will optimize the sales process based on proven patterns and methodology." – says Michał Szkodziński, co-founder of Livespace.

Inuru's original OLED manufacturing process allows for fully automated production on one assembly line. Furthermore, the new Dragon Factory in Brandenburg will cut display production costs by 90%! 👏🏻 The paper-thin displays could spark a real revolution. ✨ Imagine having dosage or expiration date information shown as a light signal on drug packaging, or having light warnings on everyday and protective clothing. This isn't just a cool gadget; it's about keeping users safe. In the manufacturing process, thin layers that light up are printed on regular PET plastic. "This lets them fit into any shape or surface," says Marcin Ratajczak (CEO at Inuru). That is why Inuru's product is suitable for a wide range of applications and has a great potential. Until now, Inuru's technology has been used mainly in the consumer goods sector, where the company has already established partnerships with well-known brand manufacturers such as The Coca-Cola Company, Champagne CATTIER, and Displate . 🤩 According to Patrick A. Barkowski (CTO at Inuru), this is just the beginning, and we fully agree! Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dg5MQVJm (article in German). #inuru #oledinnovation #technology

🚀 Exciting news! ARIA makes partial exit from Livespace - Sell Smarter.   In 10 years of operation, Livespace has grown from a start-up into a company delivering real value to more than 1,000 companies, exceeding 10 million in revenue for 2023. 👏🏻 The company has ambitions for much more and plans to continue growing and expanding into new markets.   "Scaling the business is a long-distance run. Despite the partial exit, we are staying on with the company because we believe in Livespace's mission, vision, and growth prospects," says Dariusz Lewandowski, CEO of ARIA.    The CRM market is the largest enterprise software market worth more than $60 billion. Livespace has the aspiration to dominate the niche of creating and optimizing B2B sales processes for SME companies in the European market. 🇪🇺 This goal can be achieved very soon thanks to raising PLN 10 million in a freshly closed funding round.    INVentures fund is the main investor in this round. 💡 The investment will be used for further product development, scaling infrastructure, and processes that will enable the expansion.   Congratuations to Michał Skurowski and Marcin Stańczak. We look forward to your further successes! -- W ciągu 10 lat funkcjonowania, Livespace ze start-up'u przekształcił się w firmę dostarczającą realną wartość dla ponad 1000 firm, przekraczając 10 mln zł przychodu za 2023 rok. Spółka ma ambicje na dużo więcej i planuje dalszy rozwój i ekspansję na nowe rynki.    "Skalowanie biznesu to bieg długodystansowy. Mimo częściowego wyjścia z inwestycji, zostajemy dalej w spółce, bo wierzymy w misję, wizję i perspektywy wzrostu Livespace - mówi Dariusz Lewandowski, CEO ARIA.    Rynek CRM jest największym rynkiem oprogramowania dla firm wartym ponad 60 mld dolarów. Livespace ma ambicję zdominować niszę związaną z tworzeniem i optymalizacją procesów sprzedaży B2B dla firm z sektora MŚP na rynku europejskim. Ten cel spółka może zrealizować już niebawem dzięki pozyskaniu 10 mln PLN w świeżo zamkniętej rundzie finansowania.    Głównym inwestorem w tej rundzie jest fundusz INVentures. Inwestycja zostanie wykorzystana na dalszy rozwój produktu, skalowanie infrastruktury oraz procesów, które umożliwią ekspansję.

In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, where change often outpaces companies' ability to adapt, Inuru shines as a beacon of innovation and adaptability. ✨ 2024 is a landmark year for Inuru, and we are proud to have been among the first to recognize and support their potential. The trend in electronics towards smaller, more sustainable devices is undeniable.   Printed electronics have introduced a new era of thin, lightweight, and cost-effective solutions, from wires and transistors to solar cells and batteries. 🔋 Yet, the market for visual displays faced challenges: LED options were too bulky, and OLED technology, despite its superiority, was too expensive for widespread use. This is where Inuru steps in, bridging this gap with innovation and accessibility.   🚀 Set to launch on March 11, 2024, Inuru’s Berlin-Brandenburg Dragon Factory is more than a milestone for the company’s growth — it signifies Inuru's commitment to making OLED technology accessible for mass applications. Inuru is poised to revolutionize product design with affordable OLED solutions for packaging and labels, promising to enhance brands in unprecedented ways. 😎 This isn't just about creating cutting-edge technology; it's about redefining the interface of visual communication and making sustainable, high-quality display solutions a reality for all.   Congratulations to the whole Inuru team! 👏🏻 Marcin Ratajczak, Patrick A. Barkowski, we look forward to your future successes, which are just around the corner. #Inuru #ARIA #OLEDTechnology #Innovation #SustainableElectronics #FutureIsNow
