The award announced last week saw three successful companies compete for the glory, with PTTRNS.ai winning followed by Digital-Power and ElastIQ-Connect.

The award was given as part of the release of the fourth edition of ‘Florijnz SME Data Science Top 50‘ report.

The ranking of these companies were determined on the basis of growth in total assets and employees.

What is the SME Data Science Top 50?

The SME Data Science Top 50 is a report released by Florijnz Corporate Finance that looks at the performance of key players in the data science industry. The report is being released for the fourth time this year and has become a prestigious award for companies and startups in the field of data science trying to become a prominent player.

This year’s winners were announced at the Data Week last month and it provides insight into the 50 fastest-growing Dutch SME companies that provide data science consultancy and applications to other companies. Before the winners were determined, Florijnz Corporate Finance also conducted interviews with customers of data science companies to understand their success with data applications.

The event organised by Florijnz Corporate Finance, De Breed & Partners, the MKB Datalab, and the Municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, saw the ranking for 50 “fastest climbers in the data science industry” being revealed to the general public. Iwan Verrips, a Dutch presenter known for his programs on BNR, presented the event in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

SME Data Science Top 50 Report: How is the winner selected?

After the top 50 list was created by Florijnz Corporate Finance, the top three in that list were offered an opportunity to pitch their data science idea at the Data Week NL event. This stage saw PTTRNS.ai, Digital-Power, and ElastIQ-Connect pitch their data science idea in front of the judges and the event attendees.

The eventual winner was selected by pooling results from a professional jury as well as the result pooled from the public. Half of the results were taken from a professional jury while the other half was taken from public polling to decide the final result and winner of the SME Data Science Top 50.

PTTRNS.ai, according to Florijnz Corporate Finance, received the most public votes and that became the deciding factor in its victory. The key factors that played a role in deciding the winner were presentation, impact, innovativeness, and scalability. With PTTRNS.ai taking the ultimate glory, Digital-Power came second and ElastIQ-Connect had to settle for third place.

The prize for the winner is an “exclusive dinner for the management team in the chapel of data university JADS.” The event also saw Mariam Halfhide, AI Strategist at GoDataDriven, speak about the European regulation of data science and AI. Halfhide also discussed how these regulations will be in practice for small and medium enterprises.
