Last week, Podio won the Best Business and Enterprise Startup award at the Europas – the Annual European Tech Startup Awards, aka Europe’s tech and startup community’s equivalent of The Oscars. Other highly commended companies for the award were startups such as iZettle and the New York Times praised Duedil. Not bad!
If you haven’t read my earlier blog post about Podio or if you’re not in the know, Copenhagen-based Podio is an online work platform for businesses with hundreds of specialized and flexible work apps with messaging, tasks, reporting, workflow and contact management.
The Europas took place in London as usual and 500 attendees where met with a recorded welcome video by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. Twenty two expert judges who chose their favorites from 400 entries picked the winners and there where about 40,000 public votes.
London is the Mecca of technology in Europe and where most of the nominated startups are based, but increasingly more and more startups are from other European locations, especially the Nordic countries and Germany.
Silicon Valley: Watch out for some fierce competition from Europe!
