Future Unicorn Award nominee: Ekkono Solutions
DIGITALEUROPE is proud to introduce Ekkono Solutions among the selected SMEs to participate in the Future Unicorn Award. This Swedish company is driving the digitisation of SMEs and enterprises by creating machine learning for IoT. Ekkono’s Edge Machine Learning software is embedded onboard connected devices to make them conscious, self-learning, and predictive.
About Ekkono Solutions
Ekkono’s product, which is the result of 7 years of research at the University of Borås (Sweden), is an embedded software for edge machine learning.
Running machine learning onboard machines, vehicles and other devices, makes them smart, self-learning and predictive. This enables features like health indicators, virtual sensors, condition-based/predictive maintenance, and automated fine-tuning.
This is the key to the digital transformation of all product companies, and especially the traditional industry. Here, Europe has a golden opportunity as we marry centuries of domain expertise with new cutting-edge technology. Almost every feature will leverage machine learning as they get connected, which is why Ekkono has designed the product as a programmable and flexible tool rather than a turnkey solution for a single problem.

The product is designed for programmers and the API offers bindings to several programming languages (e.g. C# and Python), and the option to generate C code. The SDK (software development kit) is a comprehensive toolbox to support implementation and integration. Tools that help with algorithm selection and optimization enables a programmer with limited data science experience to deploy advanced edge machine learning features.
