iO nominated for the 'Oscars of technology'

Nomination for AI & Digital Transformation Company of the Year at the Allstars Awards in London

London, May 2026 — iO has been nominated as AI & Digital Transformation Company of the Year at the Allstars Awards in London. The Allstars Awards, organised by GP Bullhound, celebrate companies that are redefining what is possible within the European technology landscape — a new generation of category-defining technology leaders. In the industry, the award is known as the 'Oscars of technology'.

Pieter Janssens, CEO of iO: "We are incredibly proud of this. We haven't won yet, but the nomination is a wonderful recognition of all the work happening behind the scenes to turn our journey towards becoming an AI-native partner in marketing & technology into reality."

Notably, iO did not submit a candidacy itself but was contacted directly by the organisation.

"We are delighted to be recognised at a European level," Pieter continues. "The work at iO to move from AI experimentation to AI implementation for our clients is clearly making an impact. The launch of iO Bonzai — an AI platform that transforms the uncontrolled proliferation of AI tools within businesses into controlled business value — will certainly have played a role in this."

Pitch in London

On 2 June, iO will pitch to a jury in London at organiser GP Bullhound. These jury sessions have become a must-attend for investors looking to stay connected with the most promising and forward-thinking companies shaping the future of technology and digital. The jury, composed of some of the best-known investors in the industry, will vote for the winners. The winners will be announced at the Allstars Awards ceremony on 15 October.
