At its traditional event in Pesnica, the Štajerska Chamber of Commerce presented awards to the best innovators of the Podravje region for 2025. Among the recipients of a bronze award was Academia, for the development of the innovative learning tool AcademIQ – a personal AI tutor for students. This year's call attracted 32 innovation applications prepared by 155 innovators from across the region; the jury was chaired by mag. Vanja Jus.
"We are pleased that AcademIQ is recognised as a contribution to the region's innovation culture. It is the result of interdisciplinary cooperation," said director Žan Dapčevič. AcademIQ is a personal digital tutor using artificial intelligence to support students in their daily studies, offering a personalised learning experience, encouraging independent learning and giving immediate feedback – one of the most advanced solutions in short-cycle higher education.
Many of Academia's partner companies, which employ its graduates and provide work placements, also received awards. A special success was achieved by Business student Nika Bratović, who with colleagues from Marles hiše Maribor received a silver award for the FRESH innovation, an advanced sustainable-living solution addressing environmental and spatial challenges.
