Tobii gets Bronze in SIME Awards
SIME is Northern Europe’s largest Internet and digital business opportunity event. The SIME prizes were awarded on Thursday evening, November 12th. Thirty-six young and promising Nordic companies were nominated by the SIME jury for this year’s new category “SIME Rising Star of the North”.
Tobii was one of the three finalists. The title “SIME Rising Star of the North” was awarded to Spotify, a new voice in the music industry. Third prize was awarded to Tobii with the following motivation:
”An old truth about marketing is that half of it is unnecessary. The challenge is figuring out which half. Our bronze medalist does their fair share of finding the right half. A whole other area is usability, where the trend has been leaning, for a long time, towards natural solutions. Can it get more natural than this? And finally, a noble bonus – they can make life easier for the handicapped and support medical research.”
John Elvesjö, one of the founders of Tobii, participated in the event:
”To be one of Northern Europe’s three most interesting companies within the area of the Internet and digital business opportunities feels really, really good. The competition is tough and I can only congratulate the winners.”
