Happy 2023
As 2022 comes to a close, Nijta could not have asked for a better year! 🤩 🚀 In its first year, Nijta had the honour of being welcomed within incredible startup communities, like Inria Startup Studio, Deeptech Founders, Adoc Talent Management, EuraTechnologies, OVHcloud Startup Program and La French Tech Lille. Only in the first few months, we won the prestigious i-PhD Grand Prize 🏆 by Bpifrance, and this November, we were recognized as the “startup innovante région Hauts-de-France” 🏅 by Hauts-de-France Innovation Développement, giving us access to our initial capital. 📣 As team Nijta, we actively raised awareness about the sensitive nature of voice data and the GDPR and got to showcase our tech demo at Vivatech and FIC (International Cybersecurity Forum). We gained insights into real-world market trends, by interviewing DPOs and contact centre professionals. We also got to share our expertise through masterclasses at media organizations. 🇫🇷 To address the quickly emerging market needs, we associated with a stellar team to incorporate as a French SAS. Our cloud-based API has been developed, and so is our ready-to-deploy on-premise solution. 🍁 2022 gave us the chance to continue our mission and dream: a) make the collection and storage of voice data GDPR compliant, and b) safeguard sensitive biometric information for every individual. 🙏 We are immensely grateful for your love and support through 2022. With all the exciting adventures planned for Nijta in 2023, we wish you a fantastic end of the year and a very very happy new year! 🎉 🎊 ✨
