Remember… “We keep going for olympic records, by building AI driven platforms.”
Just a few weeks ago, our two spin-offs Metamaze & Chatlayer by Sinch were recognized by Gartner. Already a new great record, of course we’re happy to spread this joy.

Met succesvolle spin-offs als Metamaze en Chatlayer is AI-expert Faktion niet aan haar proefstuk toe. Hun meest recente oplossing is een AI-platform dat de naam Chroligo kreeg. Het platform kwam tot stand door een partnerschap tussen Faktion en specialist in vlakglasverwerking Sprimoglass. Chroligo automatiseert manuele functies binnen HR die de efficiëntie en productiviteit ten goede komen.

Extremely proud to share that both our platform spin-offs, Chatlayer and Metamaze, are recognized as a leader by Gartner for Conversational AI and Intelligent Document Processing. The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates Vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. It is a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of Conversational AI Platforms.

Only a quarter of Belgian companies are currently using AI to leverage their data assets and improve decision-making. The other 75% are not yet reaping the benefits of AI. These are mainly small businesses and SMEs, while they can experience the greatest positive impact with AI adoption. The main reason appears to be the lack of knowledge and AI-expertise. Tap into our industry experience and collaborate with our AI-experts to kick-start or accelerate your AI journey.

Howest & Faktion announce an exclusive partnership to amplify knowledge validation and talent transfer. The partnership strives to boost both partners’ efforts to deliver market-driven and applied research in the field of AI & Data Science. By this talent & knowledge exchange, the partnership brings much-needed collaboration between the academic and the business world for SMEs and large multinationals.

The partnership enables both companies to provide AI software infrastructure and services to smart mobility companies looking to harness big data and create AI applications that make travel in cities safer, greener, and more efficient.

Belgian scale-ups Faktion and Robonext announce their partnership to combine the strengths of two transformational technologies: Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence. This will help organizations go beyond automating rule-based business processes and infuse intelligence in their robotic workforce: “Software robots will take up ever more complex and cognitive tasks.”

On the DI Summit awards, Faktion was chosen as the AI Scale-up of the year award. This achievement represents a long track record of growing and implementing successful AI Solutions in Europe and Asia.

Out of over 100 candidates across Europe, Faktion’s Chief Technology Officer, Joeri Van Steen has been awarded CTO of the Year 2019.

To tackle the shortage of people with AI skills, BeCode, Faktion, Microsoft and four other partners (Cronos Groep, Delaware, KPMG, and Xylos) have jointly launched the first AI school in Belgium.
