The startup expert in artificial intelligence 4i Intelligent Insights gets a loan from ENISA for € 149,000 with the support of CTA
The Seville-based startup, a specialist in artificial intelligence, applies cutting-edge techniques in computer vision, natural language processing and human-computer interaction to real-world challenges.
In its short existence, 4i has successfully developed products such as AdReAn, which collects and analyzes data from visitors to commercial spaces, and Airconv, a voice assistant for Industry 4.0 capable of operating in noisy conditions.

The startup sevillana 4i Intelligent Insights has obtained, thanks to the advice and support of CTA, a participative loan from the National Innovation Entity (ENISA) 149,000 to provide them with the necessary financial resources to expand their business and achieve additional competitive improvements in their machine vision products and dialogue systems.

“It has been a great experience working with CTA, they have really guided us through the process,” says 4i Intelligent Insights CEO and co-founder Guillermo Perez, who adds that “CTA’s contributions, always based on knowledge, and their great capacity for collaboration have led us to achieve the funding goal using minimal resources.”

4i Intelligent Insights, already present in the USA, Japan, the Middle East and several European countries, is a technology startup with the goal of creating useful products using the latest Artificial Intelligence techniques and algorithms. Among its clients are Airbus, for whom 4i is a preferred supplier of Artificial Intelligence solutions; Honda, with whom 4i collaborates in social robotics developments; and Anastasia Beverly Hills, a leader in the beauty and cosmetics sector in the USA.

The support provided by CTA to 4i is part of its support service for raising external financing for technology-based entrepreneurs, with which it has a success rate of over 45% in the Neotec program of the CDTI (@CDTIoficial) and over 94% in ENISA, among other programs.
