Whispp, the AI-powered phone-calling app that converts whispered and affected speech into a person’s natural voice in real time, had a successful debut at CES 2024, the world’s most powerful tech event. Whispp showcased its innovative solution as part of the Dutch Pavilion in Eureka Park, the dedicated venue for startups, and attracted the attention of investors, media, and potential partners from around the globe.

Whispp also participated at CES Unveiled in Amsterdam 2023, the official CES preview event where the most promising tech companies from Europe and beyond are selected to exhibit their products. Whispp was one of 50 startups chosen to pitch and demonstrate their technology on stage in front of industry leaders, journalists, and influencers.

“At CES, it’s really easy to get awareness about your company and your brand. We had the honor to give a personal demo to Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella and it gave us a lot of media attention” said Joris Castermans, Founder & CEO, Whispp. “Being a small company and reaching the target group can sometimes be difficult. For the future, being integrated in the technology and products of big tech, for us, is the way to go.”

As a result of its participation at CES, Whispp gained significant exposure and recognition for its social impact and business potential and secured several strategic partnerships and collaborations with leading organizations and institutions in the fields of speech technology, accessibility, and healthcare.

CES, is such an easy way to meet a lot of people in a short amount of time. Many new contacts and the network that we grew, started with CES.
