Why we exist

We believe that AI has the power to transform commerce and, by extension, society at large. But AI poses risks to businesses. The tech giants hold a lot of power and could monopolise entire niches if left unchecked. But unchecked they are. It’s down to businesses and private organisations to shine a light on smaller businesses using the power of AI to better serve their audience. ILPEx wants to be a part of this movement.

Why should I apply?

The AI space is fast-moving and competitive. Consumers and businesses are faced with dozens of options for how they automate, systemize, productize, and more. Why should they choose you? ILPEx recognition is your way of showing that your business has been reviewed by industry specialists who believe you’re on to something.
