Marketing tech startup Videobot wins Creative Young Entrepreneur award

As the online world increasingly shifts from traditional text to video consumption, video content now constitutes 80% of today's Internet traffic. Finnish-Luxembourgish marketing tech startup Videobot leverages this growing preference for video content by enhancing traditional website experiences with personalised, interactive video chatbots.

On 14th December 2023, in Luxembourg, Videobot was declared the winner of the Creative Young Entrepreneur award at a competition held on 7th December, organised by the Junior Chamber International of Luxembourg. The event saw participation from 32 companies, with the winning criteria encompassing innovation, economic viability, social impact, ability to overcome challenges, and long-term vision. A panel of 14 jury members selected the winner.

Videobot represents the latest achievement of serial entrepreneurs Matias Mäenpää and Anssi Kiviranta, demonstrating substantial international growth in a brief span. Mäenpää and Kiviranta launched Videobot in the summer of 2022, and today, the company serves nearly 200 large and mid-sized clients across almost 20 countries.

“We have succeeded in winning the trust of our clients and now in convincing a jury that values innovative entrepreneurial spirit. It’s great that our team’s hard work is recognised. This award goes to everyone at Videobot,” Mäenpää expressed his sentiments post the award ceremony.

In the same competition, the augmented reality startup Fabstwines secured second place, while Emma, providing managed cloud services, came third.

Videobot, a SaaS startup, innovatively merges short video and chatbot functionalities, enabling businesses to transition customer journeys into the video era. The company caters to a diverse range of industries, including telecom, automotive, real estate, and home and living.

“In a year and a half, Videobot has grown into an internationally significant player in its field, and our solution is used for product and service demonstrations as well as for communicating political objectives, to name just a couple of examples. We want to be the Coca-Cola of videobots,” Mäenpää states.
