Celebrating a Milestone: Sapia.ai’s Journey at KPMG’s Global Tech Innovator Competition
Having taken the stage at the Global Final of the KPMG Global Tech Innovator pitch competition this week, we take immense pride in the remarkable journey that brought Sapia.ai to the international stage.
Earlier this year, we secured a significant win by emerging triumphant in the Australian leg of the competition. Our Smart Interviewer™ platform, driven by deep-learning AI, proved its mettle among impressive competitors, earning us the distinction of representing Australia in the global contest hosted by KPMG.
A Triumph Down Under
Being recognized as the top tech innovator in Australia was a momentous achievement for our team. It underscored the impact of our commitment to reshaping the hiring landscape through ethical AI. Smart Interviewer™ prioritizes the human experience for candidates and eliminates unconscious bias in screening, and this resonated with judges and industry experts, placing us at the forefront of innovation in the Australian tech scene.
Representing Australia on the Global Stage
The invitation to participate in the global stage of KPMG’s Tech Innovator competition was an honor in itself. With 2000 applications globally, representing Australia among 22 other nations, including tech powerhouses like China, the US, and the UK, was a testament to the strength of innovation in AI emerging from Australia.
CEO Barb Hyman Reflects on the Journey
In the words of Sapia.ai CEO Barb Hyman, “While we may not have clinched the global title, the journey has been invaluable. Winning the Australian competition and being part of the global contest has reinforced our belief in the impact of ethical AI and its potential to address critical issues in the workplace.”
“We are grateful for the opportunity to showcase Australian AI innovation on a global platform. The experience has fueled our determination to continue making strides in transforming the hiring landscape.”
A huge thanks to KPMG for their hospitality and for the opportunity to showcase our platform on the world stage. A massive congratulations to the other finalists for bringing such incredible innovation to the competition, and to the winners! The calibre of companies presenting was second to none, and it was a privilege to stand among you.
