    A Special Time to Come Together as a Team 🎄 Almost a week ago, the akirolabs team gathered in Berlin for one of our periodic All Hands & Tech Week. It was a truly memorable moment of connection, collaboration, and reflection. Being a remote-first company, occasions like this are special opportunities to meet face-to-face. So, Every quarter, we come together to align on goals, strengthen our bonds, and celebrate the progress we’re making as a team. This time was particularly meaningful as we reflected on an incredible year. #2024 has been a year of growth and milestones for akirolabs. From team expansion to AI/ML advancements, from earning new industry recognitions to successfully raising our seed funding in January—it’s been a year of hard work, innovation, and achievement. During this event, our Tech Team led impactful workshops and also organized an internal hackathon. The hackathon resulted in three exciting internal projects, showcasing our team’s creativity and collaboration. Meanwhile, the Business Team focused on go-to-market discussions, revenue growth, and aligning business goals with our technical vision. We also took time to share personal journeys, building deeper connections and celebrating the incredible individuals who make akirolabs so special. A proud team update during the week was the appointment of our co-founders Tim Ergenzinger and Christoph Flöthmann as Managing Directors, alongside Michael Pleuger and Detlef Schultz. The week was packed with highlights, including a festive #Christmas party that brought joy, laughter, and the perfect holiday spirit to our gathering. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. They strengthen our collaboration, fuel our passion, and inspire us for the journey ahead. Here’s to an even more exciting #2025! 🚀 #TeamCulture #Growth #akirolabs #ChristmasCelebration

    As it already became a tradition, akirolabs team gathered together in person for the internal TechWeek event. This time in Berlin. The last week was full of collaboration, presentations, little challenges and of course fun. During just 5 days we've managed to travel to one location as a whole company, organized an akiro internal conference where team mates shared insights about (non)tech topics, we've developed 3 projects within Hackathon, discussed product roadmap and features, and enjoyed a company party. When company operates in a remote-first mode, nothing can be a better booster for productivity than meeting your colleagues periodically in person. Next event is coming and already in planing ... 😎 #akirolabs #ProcureTech #Innovation #Startups #teambuilding #event #hackathon #Berlin #TechWeek

    Last week, we had the privilege of attending Bernard Gracia’s Farewell Conference in Geneva, celebrating a true legend in procurement. Our Co-Founder, Detlef Schultz, shared the stage with Bernard Gracia and reflected on his extraordinary 40+ years of contributions to the profession. Bernard’s dedication has been instrumental in shaping procurement into what it is today. It was a moment to appreciate how the role of procurement has evolved—from a service function to a critical business partner and driver of value creation. Bernard’s influence on the profession and the lives of so many procurement professionals has been truly remarkable. Later in the day, our Co-Founder and CEO Michael Pleuger joined a podium discussion to introduce akirolabs and share our vision. He highlighted how we akirolabs is empowering organizations to improve strategic procurement through innovation and technology. We’re grateful to Bernard for his lifetime of contributions to the procurement community and for paving the way for the next generation of leaders. #Procurement #StrategicProcurement #akirolabs #CategoryManagement
