Uniphore Accelerates Expansion Across Europe
Business AI Suite Launch, Hearst UK, and Konecta Momentum Signal Strategic Growth
PALO ALTO, Calif. & LONDON, June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uniphore, the Business AI Company, today announced a significant expansion across Europe, accelerating its commitment to the region through new customer adoption, partner momentum, product launches, and organizational investment.
The announcement coincides with the release of the Uniphore Business AI Cloud, announced during the AI Leadership Summit held yesterday in London—an exclusive gathering of media, industry leaders, and Uniphore customers exploring the future of agentic AI in Europe. Attendees included executives from ResultsCX, Konecta, KPMG, and Rowan Curran, Principal Analyst at Forrester, who shared perspectives on how enterprises are scaling AI from isolated pilots to business-critical systems that drive measurable outcomes across customer experience, marketing, operations and more.
A Platform Built for Europe's AI Mandate
As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates across Europe, CIOs and Line of Business Leaders face growing pressure to deliver solutions that align with the EU's AI Act. Uniphore's Business AI Cloud delivers on these requirements through a sovereign, composable, and secure platform that allows enterprises to activate AI across voice, video, text, structured and unstructured data — without compromising privacy or control.
With generative AI projected to grow at 55 percent annually in Europe and AI spending expected to exceed $133 billion in the region by 2028, European CIOs are under pressure to move beyond experimentation and deliver business-ready AI that is secure, compliant and operational at scale. Uniphore's Business AI Cloud is built to meet this demand, supporting the CIO mandate to operationalize AI across workflows while meeting strict data governance, privacy and ethical standards defined in the EU AI Act and other regulatory frameworks.
Fall 2025: Uniphore Marketing AI CDP Launches in EMEA
Uniphore will formally launch its Marketing AI CDP and Marketing Agents, part of the Business AI Suite, in the European market this fall. Built for enterprise marketers navigating complex privacy landscapes and fragmented customer data, the solution helps teams activate insights and deploy agentic marketing workflows — without requiring data movement or custom engineering.
Among Uniphore's newest customers in the region is Hearst UK, a leading media organization embracing AI to drive marketing automation and personalized engagement.
"We've been really pleased with the flexibility and composability of the Uniphore CDP," said Krishan Gandhi, Senior Director of Data Engineering & Analytics at Hearst UK. "As we continue to evolve our customer data strategy, we're excited to see how Uniphore's Marketing Agents and complete AI platform will help us better engage audiences, streamline workflows, and drive more impactful marketing outcomes."
The Uniphore Business AI Suite includes Marketing AI, a CDP with pre-built agents purpose-built for enterprise marketers, including the Product Knowledge Agent (now generally available), which answers user questions in real time using indexed product documentation; the Platform Search Agent, launching in Summer 2025, which enables semantic search across audiences, attributes, and platform components; and the Audience Segmentation Agent, also arriving this summer, which allows marketers to build audience cohorts from plain-English prompts using both rule- and outcome-based logic. Together, these agents help enterprises accelerate first-party data activation while meeting GDPR compliance requirements out of the box.
Momentum with Konecta Drives Scaled Transformation
Uniphore also continues to deepen its relationship with global BPO leader Konecta, following the strategic partnership announced in late 2023. The companies are jointly scaling AI-led contact center transformation across Europe — automating quality monitoring, enabling real-time agent guidance and delivering measurable outcomes for telecom and financial services leaders.
"With Uniphore, we're building an agentic AI factory, designed to rapidly create, deploy and orchestrate AI agents across our customer environments," said Oscar Vergé, chief AI deployment officer at Konecta. "The platform's agent builder, orchestration engine and support for both prebuilt and custom agents allow us to agentify critical workflows for each client, from customer service to back-office automation. This isn't just AI adoption — it's real transformation at enterprise scale."
Konecta leaders joined Uniphore onstage at the AI Leadership Summit in London to discuss deployment momentum and share learnings on production-grade enterprise AI.
Growing the Team and Leadership Across EMEA
Uniphore has significantly grown its presence in the region, expanding its team across sales, engineering, and customer success. The company now operates from a dedicated London office as well as an office in Valencia, Spain and is actively engaged in deployments across key markets throughout EMEA.
To support this growth, Jeremy Keefe has joined as Vice President of Sales, EMEA, bringing decades of enterprise software leadership to Uniphore's regional go-to-market strategy.

Forget chocolate! The world now envies Switzerland's zero interest rates
The world envies Swiss chocolate, army knives, and now . . . interest rates? Housing market weakness triggers Lennar to offer biggest incentives since 2009 The Trump administration is trying to bring back asbestos 3 tiny behaviors that make you the calmest person in the room Swiss National Bank, Switzerland's central bank, moved interest rates to zero this week, a reduction of 25 basis points, and a notable detraction from other central banks around the world, such as the Federal Reserve in the U.S. and the Bank of England in the U.K. In a statement, the Swiss National Bank said that the move was made in relation to declining inflation worries—and that it's expecting the economies to buckle under the volatility created, in part, due to the Trump administration's trade policies. 'With today's easing of monetary policy, the SNB is countering the lower inflationary pressure. The SNB will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust its monetary policy if necessary, to ensure that inflation remains within the range consistent with price stability over the medium term,' the statement read. 'The global economic outlook for the coming quarters has deteriorated due to the increase in trade tensions. In its baseline scenario, the SNB anticipates that growth in the global economy will weaken over the coming quarters. Inflation in the U.S. is likely to rise over the coming quarters. In Europe, by contrast, a further decrease in inflationary pressure is to be expected.' Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve's latest meeting wrapped up this week with no change in interest rates, despite pressure from the White House and others to lower them. Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other Fed governors have been reluctant to do so, as inflation data still has not gotten close enough to its 2% target, and employment data has remained positive. Across the Atlantic, however, another European country, Norway, also cut rates this week. And some experts think that the Swiss could go even further, instituting negative interest rates at some point this year. 'There are risks that the SNB will go further in the future if inflationary pressures don't start to increase, and the lowest the policy rate could go is -0.75%, the rate it reached in the 2010s,' Swiss National Bank's Chairman Martin Schlegel told CNBC on Thursday. 'But what I can say is that going negative, we would not take this decision lightly.' This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:

Rippling spy says men have been following him, and his wife is afraid
If becoming a spy sounds like an exciting way to live like a le Carré character, let this newest affidavit from confessed Rippling spy Keith O'Brien serve as a warning. On Friday, an Irish judge granted O'Brien a restraining order against several men who have not yet been identified, according to the court order seen by TechCrunch. O'Brien testified that multiple men — two in a gray Skoda Superb on one occasion, and more often, a short-haired, heavy-set man in a black SUV, sometimes accompanied by a large dog — had repeatedly followed his car and watched his home. O'Brien's story has captured the imagination of the tech industry after his colorful confession in April, in which he alleged that he was a spy for Deel. He said he was paid €5,000 a month to steal Rippling's internal data on everything from products to customers. Rippling caught him by setting up a honeypot Slack channel. On the day he was caught, O'Brien pretended to flush his phone down the corporate toilet and later smashed it, dropping pieces down the drain at his mother-in-law's house, according to his affidavit. Now he's the star witness for Rippling in its lawsuit against Deel. Rippling is even picking up the tab for his legal and related expenses, its lawyers testified. Deel is also countersuing Rippling, claiming it was spied on too, by a Rippling employee impersonating a customer. The two HR tech companies have been bitter rivals for years after Deel — once a Rippling customer — began offering competing products. In the latest part of the saga, O'Brien testified that he tried to lose the black SUV following his car by making sudden turns and taking roundabout ways to get home, only to see it reappear in his rearview mirror. He hired a security consulting company and feared that someone was placing tracking devices on his car. O'Brien claims all of these incidents have created 'emotional and psychological' damage for himself and his wife. 'We have been experiencing anxiety at home and in public. It has affected our sleep and our concentration,' O'Brien said in his latest affidavit. They are fearful for the safety of their four children. He and his lawyer speculated that this was intended as harassment related to his role as star witness. However, O'Brien's lawyer also admitted in court that they had no evidence tying the men to Deel. Deel also denied knowing anything about the man in the black SUV. According to the Irish publication Business Post, when granting the injunction, the judge apparently said, 'As if they are in a 1970s cops and robbers' TV show. Whatever happens in the dueling court cases, O'Brien has made himself the rope in a bitter tug of war between these two well-funded HR startups. And from what he says in his testimony, it sounds painful.

Apple Hardware Executive Says iPhone Maker Plans To Use AI For Speeding Up Custom Chip Design: 'High Potential In Getting More Design Work In Less Time'
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly looking to harness the power of generative artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of the custom chips that power its devices, according to senior executive Johny Srouji. What Happened: During a speech in Belgium last month, Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies, Srouji, said the company is exploring generative AI to streamline chip design, calling it a major productivity opportunity, reported Reuters on Wednesday. "Generative AI techniques have a high potential in getting more design work in less time, and it can be a huge productivity boost," Srouji said, according to a recording reviewed by the publication. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share. Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can invest with $1,000 at just $0.30/share. He made the remarks while accepting an award from Imec, a prominent semiconductor R&D organization. During his speech, Srouji highlighted that electronic design automation (EDA) firms like Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ:CDNS) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS)—both racing to integrate AI—are critical to managing the complexity of Apple's chip development. Srouji also reflected on Apple's bold move in 2020 to replace Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) chips in Mac computers with its own Apple Silicon. He said that it was a major takeaway from Apple's chip development journey was the importance of making bold decisions and moving forward without hesitation. "There was no backup plan, no split-the-lineup plan, so we went all in," he said. "Including a monumental software effort." Why It's Important: Last month, it was reported that Apple is developing new chips to power upcoming smart glasses, AI servers and future Macs. Apple aims to launch it by 2026–2027. Meanwhile, the M5 chip, built on the advanced 3nm N3P architecture, has reportedly entered mass production and is expected to enhance the MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro—especially with upcoming Apple Intelligence features.
