"Today’s era defines industrial success by the way market players evolve, innovate, and reshape themselves against technological advancements, disruptive entrants, and the pressure to stay ahead of the curve. It is a survival mandate. Yet, for all the corporate rhetoric around ‘thinking differently’, the actual innovation remains slow, inconsistent, and often expensive. AKAIO aims to close this very gap."

"The future belongs to organizations that can innovate at speed. Akaio makes that possible by making innovation a bold, fast and cost-effective AI-driven process."

"Founded by Spaniards and Americans, the startup uses AI to accelerate business innovation and connect customers with partners."

"Akaio served as a key source for an advanced analysis of future trends in the sector of distruptive textiles in this Expansion article. Using Akaio's 'Hidden Trends' module, Expansion identified key trends in the industry which gave deep insight into the direction of sustainable textile manufacturing for leading companies in the space."

"Akaio, known as the 'Tinder' of innovation, has raised a seed round worth $2.8 million (€2.3 million) and is preparing to launch a pre-Series A round in which it hopes to raise an additional $5 million (€4.2 million) to help the company accelerate its expansion. With this funding round, Kyra Group, founded by Spanish entrepreneur Juan Manuel Gutiérrez and his partner Hitendra Patel, aims to expand its global sales network, continue developing version 2.0 of the platform, and drive further improvements."

"Kyra Group ha lanzado al mercado su plataforma de innovacion con motor de inteligencia artificial (IA) propia, según ha informado la firma. En concreto, los co-fundadores de Kyra, Juan Manuel Gutiérrez Alcubilla (CEO), Hitendra Patel y Alex Gutiérrez Acosta han lanzado Akaio 1.0 para su comercialización en un acto para inversores y accionistas con una demostración en vivo de la plataforma"
