We are delighted to have been chosen as a winner of the tech kickstarter competition. The support offered will help us improve on our existing MVP App, moving it from tech readiness level 4 to tech readiness level 7. Without o2h's support, we'd struggle to make such a leap in such a short space of time.

About The Tech Kickstarter
The previous editions of The Tech Kickstarter Competition were a great success. We received applications from more than 70 seed/early stage companies working on some really exciting and innovative ideas in the field of life science, tech/AI, and green innovation. And we announced five winners who received the benefits of this programme. Building upon the success of our previous editions, we are now back with The Tech Kickstarter Competition 4.0.
The Tech Kickstarter Competition is designed to provide a boost of tech software/web development to seed and early stage companies, who have secured some initial funding and are looking forward to building MVPs, Web or Mobile apps to kickstart their digital journeys or supercharge their existing MVPs by expanding their functionality with additional resources.
At o2h Technology, we love working with innovative early stage companies and helping them build tech products that can have an impact on human and planet health. Winners of this competition will receive a dedicated team of developers and end to end project management services to support their digital transformation journeys through all phases of application development including design, code, quality check, and implementation.

About SimplyArt AI
SimplyArt AI is on a mission to make art and history accessible to everyone through the power of advanced Language Learning Models (LLMs). Their innovative app transforms museum visits into interactive, inclusive, and engaging journeys, catering to diverse audiences, including those with learning differences like ADHD or dyslexia.
Beyond simplification, their app offers tailored content that answers specific queries about art history, meanings, and artistic techniques, making it a versatile tool for learners at all levels. Whether you're a casual visitor looking to understand art more engagingly or an adult with specific questions about an exhibit, their technology makes museums speak your language.
We are thrilled to receive support from o2h Technology, which will accelerate the development of our AI-powered digital guide app. This partnership allows us to create a robust MVP and begin trials by Spring 2025. With their support, we’re one step closer to making museums more accessible, engaging, and data-driven, shaping the future of cultural experiences for everyone.
