With the motto, “rather fuse that fight”, Stefan Kupferberg from Yukka GmbH and Kristoffer J. Lassen, Co-founder of Imooty, announced a strategic partnership at the Multimedia Congress 2010 in Berlin last Wednesday.
The announcement came during a workshop session called “From Start-up to sustainable Business” where a panel of entrepreneurs, investors and coaches discussed the challenges faced by young businesses. In this setting, the Imooty and Yukka co-founders had the opportunity to pitch the development of their common service.
On stage, Stefan gave some insight to how the collaboration came about; “We met by chance here at the Multimedia Congress exactly one year ago. At that time we were surprised to discover that Imooty already offered the end-user tool that we wanted to develop. Imooty on its part seemed exited to learn that Yukka was in the process of developing semantic tools it needed to improve its service…”
Aided by Yukka’s software, Imooty will add a more efficient and qualitative superior data management system to its media monitoring tool. In brief, the Imooty data index will be processed by Yukka’s semantic text recognition technology. This includes automatic language recognition and consolidation of duplicate- and topic related entires, ultimately improving the end user experience.
Imooty.eu GmbH & Co KG, founded at the outset of 2009 offers online media monitoring tools, scanning real time opinion makers from main stream- and social media sources. The company was awarded the German Ministry of Economics and Technology Multimediaprize 2008 and a Ruban d’Honneur as Business Innovation of the Year, at the European Business Awards 2009.
Yukka GmbH was also founded at the outset of 2009 and offers analysis of unstructured data. The company combines best practices from artificial intelligence with computer linguistic methods, delivering a service that facilitates organization of content in a accurate and time efficient format.
Moderated by Ulrich Walter and Uwe Seidel from VDI/VDE-IT, the entrepreneurs, investors and coaches joined in a lively discussion to exchange practical knowledge on how to cope with lack of experience, finance- and growth issues.
