The everis foundation has awarded the Social Intrapreneurship Award 2019-2020 to Karoly Feher, an entrepreneur from the everis Luxembourg office for his project "broomBot", a street cleaning system that uses artificial intelligence and automatic learning to detect, classify and collect garbage from the streets.

The award involves a trip to Japan to learn about NTT Data's entrepreneurial culture at its headquarters in Tokyo, as well as advice from i-deals, an everis Group technology company specializing in technology entrepreneurship.

Among the novelties this year was the public vote for the best project, choosing as the winner the project eDucatec, from the everis Madrid office, which will receive a month of mentoring by i-deals.

This fourth edition of the Award has brought together seven finalist entrepreneurs, everis and NTT Data professionals at the international level (Canada, Spain, Luxembourg, Mexico and Peru), who lead innovative technology projects capable of having a positive impact on society. These are the finalists:
