Whispp

Whispp develops and licenses real-time, on-device voice reconstruction AI that transforms how people communicate across accessibility, enterprise, and consumer applications. Whispp’s real-time on-device voice AI converts affected and whispered speech into the person’s clear and natural voice. Powered by our audio-to-audio voice reconstruction technology, Whispp gives people with a voice condition their voice back and enables private, discreet calls simply by whispering. The market opportunity for on-device voice AI is substantial, driven first by private, discreet calling. Whispp-based calling can enable silent conversations without disturbing others and can protect voice identity when confidentiality or anonymity matters. It can also support accessibility by giving voice to people with a voice condition and people who stutter severely, who are often more fluent when whispering. Whispp licenses its technology to mobile and PC OEMs and communications platforms for scaled integration. Whispp has been recognized as a TIME Best Inventions 2024 honoree, selected for the EIC Accelerator with a €2.5M grant and equity commitment, named a CES Innovation Award 2024 Honoree, chosen as a 4YFN Best Startup Award finalist, and included in the 2025 Forbes Accessibility 100. The company is actively collaborating with global technology partners to bring voice reconstruction to market. Founded in Leiden, Netherlands, in 2020 by CEO Joris Castermans and CTO Akash Raj Komarlu. The executive team includes Andreas Spechtler, former President of Dolby International, and Mahesh Sundaram, bringing deep expertise in global audio technology, OEM partnerships, commercialization, and international scaling. Our mission is to make communication effortless for everyone, regardless of voice challenges or environment.

Smartflow

Redefining inspections for a smarter, safer future. Smartflow is the platform that field teams, inspectors, and service providers use to run the full lifecycle of inspections and field work — from designing the model, to planning the work, to executing it online or offline, to reporting through client portals, PDFs, or data warehouses. Inspections are the heart of what we do. Whether it's an operator round at a tank terminal, a vessel arrival on the jetty, an asset inspection at a wind farm, or a safety check at a chemical plant, Smartflow turns scattered paper, spreadsheets, and emails into one connected system. The same platform also powers the broader field-work reality: work orders, maintenance jobs, commissioning checks, and project handovers. Configurable models adapt to how each organisation actually works, so teams can digitise what they do today and scale into more tomorrow. Used by asset owners, terminal operators, and service providers worldwide across energy, tank storage, maritime, and TIC industries — backed by a team that combines deep operational experience with a modular, data-driven platform that's intuitive, scalable, and built to last. Our values: People. Passion. Trust. Our mission: to make field work safer, cleaner, and more intelligent through technology. Want to raise the standard, not just digitize it?
