We are excited to share that Zazu has successfully advanced to the “Integrate” phase of the STADIEM Open Call 1. After a thorough selection process and rigorous vetting by the committee and external experts, Zazu is now one of only 12 select startups in the penultimate stage of the STADIEM project. 

STADIEM is a program that attracts the most promising tech startups, scaleups, and SMEs, to participate in the STADIEM program composed of 4 different stages; Match, Develop, Integrate, and Pilot. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 951981.     

Together with Roularta Media Group – one of Belgium’s biggest publishers with countless brands under management – Zazu is developing a large-scale story automation feature to further reduce work effort for publishers and brands alike. With the new automation feature, publishers can create and deploy Stories within seconds to their pages. Zazu’s algorithm will take care of the creation and suggest deployment options to the publisher. This revolutionary process will vastly increase the attractiveness of the format to businesses and enable them to set their website experience on par with social media platforms.

The “Integrate” stage is designed to develop and deploy the finishing touches on the features, before pushing them to the pilot together with Roularta later this year. We will soon be disclosing more information about the progress as well as some real-life examples for you to experience. 

An exciting time lies ahead!
Regards,
