Akeneo lands the prize for Start-up of the year,\u00a0<\/span>joining the gems of French innovation<\/span><\/h2>\r\nNantes, 20 September 2017<\/strong> \u2013 At its annual ceremony last night, EY awarded the Start-Up of the Year prize \u00a0for the western region to Akeneo, a young seedling company from Nantes, specialising in unification of product information. This recognises the path followed by this start-up formed in 2013 which already has three capital rounds to its credit.<\/span>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\n

The Start-Up of the year prize means a lot to us. On the one hand, it confirms the relevance of our economic model and ability \u00a0to innovate in a sector with emerging competition. On the other it also acknowledges, if that were still needed, that the issue of uniformity in product information is a major challenge for brands.<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n

For the past four years, Akeneos PIM (Product Information Management) open source solution has given brands the means to unify information about their products across all media, from the brands mobile \u00a0app to its paper catalogue, via a Marketplace description. At a time when the consumer carefully monitors information before making a purchase, brands would be wrong to treat it as an unnecessary \u00a0extra. The explosion in digital channels and the advent of voice assistants are driving uniformity and classification of product information to the top of the list of business marketing concerns<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n
