On December 5, the District, specialized platform for AI implementation projects for corporations in Latin America, holds the first edition of the GenAI Lab Awards 2024, annual award that recognizes startups, corporations and supporters that stood out for driving the sector with impact and transformative vision. The initiative is part of the GenAI Festival, event produced by the District, that will bring together great entrepreneurs, representatives of companies that are leading the AI ecosystem in Brazil.
The meeting will be in hybrid format, with an online broadcast open to the public and an exclusive in-person ceremony for invited guests, clients and partners, reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and the construction of a robust and collaborative technological environment in the country. With more than 40 supported initiatives and 100 startups connected to 20 large companies, the GenAI Lab, District artificial intelligence laboratory, has already received over R$25 million in investments and contributed to the creation of 50 business opportunities.
"We are living in a moment where AI is not just a tool", but a central element for the future of business and society. The GenAI Lab Awards is a way to celebrate those who are shaping this future with vision and real impact, says Gustavo Gierun, co-founder and CEO of Distrito.
The award will be divided into the categories "High Impact Strategic Connections" and "Transformative Use Cases in AI". The supporters, corporations and investment funds will also participate competing in the categories "Most Engaged Supporter" and "Most Partnering Venture Capital", demonstrating engagement in supporting innovative projects and promoting training in the sector.
The selection of the winners will be carried out by a judging panel composed of renowned experts, like Vaner Teixeira, executive manager of RD Saúde, Joaquim Fanton, commercial and marketing leader of Semantix, Gustavo Maierá, AI leader at Oracle, and Charlotte Guinet, innovation manager for the Americas at Edenred. The executives will evaluate criteria such as market impact, success metrics and the transformative capacity of the presented initiatives.
"The award goes beyond recognizing results". We want to strengthen the innovation ecosystem, promoting strategic connections that inspire new initiatives and accelerate the development of the sector. Our goal is to create an environment where all market players can thrive together, reinforces Gierun.
