LONDON, July 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Google and Formula E
announced today that the Generative AI hackathon that took place
ahead of the 2024 Hankook London E-Prix has been awarded a
Guiness World Record for the most
participated in-person Generative AI hackathon; to which Ancoris
emerged as winners.
"It's easy to fall into the trap of feeling lucky to be named a
winner at an event like this - where so many people take part; but
the reality is that our teams do this type of work day-in-day-out,
and are really good at it," says Andre
Azevedo, Ancoris CEO. "When the conversations we have with
our customers focus so heavily on how we can help them solve
business problems, it's no surprise to me that our teams are able
to deliver rapid prototypes to show how problems can be solved
within a number of hours during a hackathon."
Ancoris has been on a winning streak of late after being named a
Google Cloud Public Sector Partner of the Year, recognised by The
Sunday Times as a Best Place to Work, and most recently named a
Leader for Data Analytics and Machine Learning in ISG Provider
Lens™ Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem.
"AI has changed the way organisations approach the same or new
problems, and, from a skills perspective, the continued evolution
of this technology means we have to stay on top of upskilling and
training," says Belen Ripoll,
Ancoris Chief People Officer. "This hackathon win is of course a
win for Ancoris, but more importantly, a win for the individuals
across our business who stretch and push themselves to solve
customer problems in new ways every day - and a demonstration of
just how good they are at what they do."
"We're proud partners of Google Cloud, who are constantly
pushing the boundaries to innovate and deliver for our joint
customers," says Azevedo. "Hackathons are a fantastic way to
demonstrate the art of the possible when it comes to AI - we are
already delivering these types of engagements for our customers as
a way to forge a path for AI adoption across their organisations -
long may it continue."
