8, are the startups and scale-ups selected for The Sella Data Challenge: the competition organized by Banca Sella in partnership with the Fintech District, aimed at fintech companies to identify, through data usage and analysis, new solutions for the customization of their offer of products and services to clients.

Overall, 54 applications were received to access the program: not only from many Italian companies but several from abroad as well, including European and non-European countries. These numbers prove there's interest in this particular competition and, at the same time, show the state of health of the sector.

After an initial selection that restricted the candidates to 16, the eight chosen companies will now have two and a half months to create and introduce their idea through a working prototype, a demo, an application or simply a "proof of concept".

Virtual B, Premoneo, Bid Company, Cardo AI, Galileo XA, Utego, Vidyasoft and Altilia are the eight startups and scale-ups that will now fight for the first place and to win the 15 thousand Euros prize, to develop and test with Banca Sella the identified solution.
