AI tools win Andorra's ACTINN Awards, sharing €7,000 in prizes
What's the deal? Two AI startups won the seventh edition of Andorra's ACTINN Awards, announced November 11 by the country's technology and innovation cluster. MinervalyDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a document-automation platform, took first place and €5,000; Staybell, an AI concierge for tourist accommodation, won second place and €2,000.
What are they building? Minervaly, developed by Minerva Data Solutions SL and presented by founder and chief executive officer Pol Guasch, uses AI to automate document processes, reading files, cross-checking information and flagging inconsistencies for review. ACTINN said the tool could serve document-heavy sectors such as banking, insurance and professional services.
And the runner-up? Staybell, from Staybell Technologies SL and founder Niki Francesca, is an AI concierge that lets small and mid-sized accommodation providers answer guests via WhatsApp around the clock in multiple languages. It automates routine queries and offers personalised recommendations to ease reception workloads.
What's the context? Seven projects competed, judged on market potential, value proposition, viability and ties to innovation. The five others included Estalvia, a free personal-finance tool, and La Calculadora, an adaptive tax questionnaire for Andorran income-tax returns.
Why now? The awards follow a November 4 agreement between ACTINN and the Andorra Chamber of Commerce to pool resources for training, networking and digitalisation. Winners will receive their prizes formally at INNTEC 2027 in May.
The signal: The prizes are modest, and the awards work chiefly as a visibility and ecosystem-support tool rather than a funding event. But both winners show AI being applied to practical business functions — document review and visitor services — as Andorra pushes to diversify its economy through technology.
