Klewel

Klewel SA, with headquarters in Switzerland provides leading edge solutions for efficiently capturing, archiving and searching the information contained in multimedia digital recordings of presentations and conferences.

Founded in 2007, Klewel is a spin-off of the Idiap Research Institute. The capture infrastructure is very user-friendly, easy to use, transportable, and non-intrusive. Klewel distillates automatically the core messages of the speaker from data as raw as audio and video streams thanks to fast indexing technologies. Klewel makes the knowledge of the speakers available to anybody through natural language queries as simple as those that everybody uses to find web pages with their favorite web search engine.

Customers of Klewel are large companies such as Nestlé, international organizations such as UNICEF (The United Nations Children’s Fund), UNISDR (The United Nations - International Strategy for Disaster Reduction), WBCSD (The World Business Council for Sustainable Development), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), universities such as Open University, EPFL and convention centres such as 2M2C (Montreux Music & Convention Centre), CICG (Geneva International Congress Centre).

Klewel has been the recipient of several innovation awards, including finalist of the AIPC (International Association of Congress Centres) Innovation Award; European Seal of Excellence in Multimedia, CeBIT, Hannover, Germany; Start-up competition selection of the IMD (International Management Development) Business School, Lausanne; and First Price of a Start-up selection in France (Concours CREER 2008).
