We’re happy to share that our founder, Irene Ioannidou, was recently featured in the EmpowerAI project, a European initiative that highlights women entrepreneurs working with AI. As part of the project, Irene gave an interview focused on empowering entrepreneurship through practical uses of artificial intelligence.
In the interview, Irene explains how AI is changing the way businesses operate. She also talks about the real challenges behind adopting new technologies. In addition, she shares how Vongrid uses intelligent tools in everyday work. Overall, it’s a practical and honest look at what using AI actually means in real business settings.
Importantly, the focus is on using technology to save time and reduce repetitive tasks. As a result, teams can spend more energy on creative and strategic work. Irene offers simple examples of how this approach has helped Vongrid improve processes and deliver better results for clients.
Beyond the technical side, Irene reflects on her experience as a founder. She highlights the value of persistence, curiosity, and continuous learning. At the same time, she speaks openly about the ups and downs of building a company. Finally, she encourages more women to explore careers in technology and entrepreneurship, even without a traditional tech background.
We hope the interview is useful for anyone curious about applying AI in a realistic and meaningful way.
