After an exciting and eventful period of the Match phase, the Develop phase of STADIEM has officially begun! And we couldn’t be more excited to write about it. 

We’ve developed our current product and future additions to provide as much value to our new partner ROULARTA MEDIA GROUP as feasible. As well as the rest of our respectable clients.

It was a competitive round indeed, in STADIEM, with a number of other notable contestants. However, we are happy to share that Zazu has successfully advanced to the STADIEM Develop phase. And with that, we secured a €70k fund.

During the following phase, we will work together with our new corporate partner to develop unique features that will significantly improve the story creation process for media houses.

The aforementioned features are two-fold. The first one is automated Story creation which refers to automatic Article-to-Story conversion. For both automation at scale and improved suggestions for content creation. Zazu will save time for users by creating Stories automatically from URLs. 

In addition, Zazu and Roularta will also create a Mobile SDK to expand Zazu’s offering to native mobile apps and assist clients in reaching their target audience across all platforms and channels. The SDK perfectly supports Zazu’s vision of providing a consolidated environment for story content creation, distribution, monitoring, and monetization.

We are happy to be part of this exciting and exclusive program (which you can read up more about here!) and we look forward to announcing more about our work and collaboration with the ROULARTA Group in the upcoming weeks!

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 951981

Meanwhile, we invite you to get to discover and test out our amazing new features already!
