Uniphore Accelerates Expansion Across Europe
Business AI Suite Launch, Hearst UK, and Konecta Momentum Signal Strategic Growth
PALO ALTO, Calif. & LONDON, June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uniphore, the Business AI Company, today announced a significant expansion across Europe, accelerating its commitment to the region through new customer adoption, partner momentum, product launches, and organizational investment.
The announcement coincides with the release of the Uniphore Business AI Cloud, announced during the AI Leadership Summit held yesterday in London—an exclusive gathering of media, industry leaders, and Uniphore customers exploring the future of agentic AI in Europe. Attendees included executives from ResultsCX, Konecta, KPMG, and Rowan Curran, Principal Analyst at Forrester, who shared perspectives on how enterprises are scaling AI from isolated pilots to business-critical systems that drive measurable outcomes across customer experience, marketing, operations and more.
A Platform Built for Europe's AI Mandate
As enterprise adoption of AI accelerates across Europe, CIOs and Line of Business Leaders face growing pressure to deliver solutions that align with the EU's AI Act. Uniphore's Business AI Cloud delivers on these requirements through a sovereign, composable, and secure platform that allows enterprises to activate AI across voice, video, text, structured and unstructured data — without compromising privacy or control.
With generative AI projected to grow at 55 percent annually in Europe and AI spending expected to exceed $133 billion in the region by 2028, European CIOs are under pressure to move beyond experimentation and deliver business-ready AI that is secure, compliant and operational at scale. Uniphore's Business AI Cloud is built to meet this demand, supporting the CIO mandate to operationalize AI across workflows while meeting strict data governance, privacy and ethical standards defined in the EU AI Act and other regulatory frameworks.
Fall 2025: Uniphore Marketing AI CDP Launches in EMEA
Uniphore will formally launch its Marketing AI CDP and Marketing Agents, part of the Business AI Suite, in the European market this fall. Built for enterprise marketers navigating complex privacy landscapes and fragmented customer data, the solution helps teams activate insights and deploy agentic marketing workflows — without requiring data movement or custom engineering.
Among Uniphore's newest customers in the region is Hearst UK, a leading media organization embracing AI to drive marketing automation and personalized engagement.
"We've been really pleased with the flexibility and composability of the Uniphore CDP," said Krishan Gandhi, Senior Director of Data Engineering & Analytics at Hearst UK. "As we continue to evolve our customer data strategy, we're excited to see how Uniphore's Marketing Agents and complete AI platform will help us better engage audiences, streamline workflows, and drive more impactful marketing outcomes."
The Uniphore Business AI Suite includes Marketing AI, a CDP with pre-built agents purpose-built for enterprise marketers, including the Product Knowledge Agent (now generally available), which answers user questions in real time using indexed product documentation; the Platform Search Agent, launching in Summer 2025, which enables semantic search across audiences, attributes, and platform components; and the Audience Segmentation Agent, also arriving this summer, which allows marketers to build audience cohorts from plain-English prompts using both rule- and outcome-based logic. Together, these agents help enterprises accelerate first-party data activation while meeting GDPR compliance requirements out of the box.
Momentum with Konecta Drives Scaled Transformation
Uniphore also continues to deepen its relationship with global BPO leader Konecta, following the strategic partnership announced in late 2023. The companies are jointly scaling AI-led contact center transformation across Europe — automating quality monitoring, enabling real-time agent guidance and delivering measurable outcomes for telecom and financial services leaders.
"With Uniphore, we're building an agentic AI factory, designed to rapidly create, deploy and orchestrate AI agents across our customer environments," said Oscar Vergé, chief AI deployment officer at Konecta. "The platform's agent builder, orchestration engine and support for both prebuilt and custom agents allow us to agentify critical workflows for each client, from customer service to back-office automation. This isn't just AI adoption — it's real transformation at enterprise scale."
Konecta leaders joined Uniphore onstage at the AI Leadership Summit in London to discuss deployment momentum and share learnings on production-grade enterprise AI.
Growing the Team and Leadership Across EMEA
Uniphore has significantly grown its presence in the region, expanding its team across sales, engineering, and customer success. The company now operates from a dedicated London office as well as an office in Valencia, Spain and is actively engaged in deployments across key markets throughout EMEA.
To support this growth, Jeremy Keefe has joined as Vice President of Sales, EMEA, bringing decades of enterprise software leadership to Uniphore's regional go-to-market strategy.

4 Simple Ways Trump's $2.5B Bitcoin Deal Could Impact Everyone's Wallet
President Donald Trump's social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, recently entered into deals with about 50 institutional investors that will raise $2.5 billion to invest in bitcoin. $1.5 billion will come from selling approximately 58 million shares and $1 billion from selling bonds that can be converted into shares later. Read Next: Check Out: The company plans to use the funds to create a bitcoin treasury, a move that could impact your wallet even if you've never owned a single cryptocurrency. For decades, U.S. Treasury bonds were considered safe investments, but things are starting to shift, probably due to the rising yields and economic uncertainty. More institutional investors are turning to bitcoin as a way to protect themselves against market volatility. Trending Now: 'Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT) is not the first to turn its attention to the cryptocurrency market. In March, Germany's Deutsche Börse announced it would begin offering cryptocurrency custody and settlement services for institutional clients,' said Alena Afanaseva, CEO and founder of BeInCrypto. 'This week, June 9, 2025, Anemoi International Ltd. ($AMOI.L), a UK-based company, has become the first to add bitcoin to its treasury, investing approximately 30% of its £900k ($1.2 million) cash reserves as of Dec. 31, 2024.' This shift legitimizes bitcoin as a treasury asset and makes it more likely to show up in mainstream portfolios, including retirement accounts. Massive deals like this extend beyond the cryptocurrency market. They influence how investors, banks and businesses make decisions. 'Chances are that the deal could lead to economic uncertainties, influencing interest rates, inflation and job growth, which would ultimately impact the purchasing power and financial stability of Americans,' said Aaron Razon, personal finance expert at Couponsnake. So even if you're not invested in crypto or DJT stock, you'll likely feel the impact in your day-to-day finances. The increasing adoption of cryptocurrency by companies and institutions could mean new payment options and earning opportunities will become available. 'As crypto becomes integrated into mainstream banking and fintech platforms, even those who aren't actively investing may feel its influence, whether through new payment options, financial products, or cultural narratives,' Afanaseva said. For years, crypto was seen as a high-risk, speculative asset. But now publicly traded companies, like Trump Media and Strategy, are adding bitcoin to their balance sheets as a way to diversify their revenue, something which those new to crypto may want to pay attention to. 'Trump Media's $2.5 billion pivot toward bitcoin introduces a new layer of volatility to its stock (DJT),' said Dan Buckley, chief analyst at 'It may not directly impact the wallets of those who don't own the stock or crypto, but high-profile firms embracing crypto may slowly increase mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency as a corporate treasury asset.'

Starmer and Trump to hold ‘one-on-one' talks at G7 in push to wrap up trade deal
Sir Keir Starmer has said he will meet Donald Trump for 'one-on-one' talks at a major global summit in a push to get the US-UK trade deal over the finish line. The Prime Minister said he expected the economic pact to be completed 'very soon' ahead of a meeting with the US President at the G7 conference in Canada. Britain's long-coveted free trade deal with Washington was agreed upon last month but is yet to be implemented, with both sides yet to take the necessary steps to reduce tariffs. Asked whether he would be able to finalise the deal as he crosses paths with Mr Trump at the international leaders' summit in Kananaskis, Sir Keir said: 'I'm very pleased that we made that trade deal, and we're in the final stages now of implementation, and I expect that to be completed very soon.' Amid speculation that the two leaders will carve out time for a bilateral meeting between G7 plenary sessions, Sir Keir said: 'I'll be having a one-on-one with him. 'I think I'm seeing him on a number of occasions today because we're in all of the sessions together, so I'll be having a lot of conversations with President Trump.' He added: 'We will be talking about our trade deal… because that really matters for the vital sectors that are safeguarded under our deal, and we've got to implement that.' The Prime Minister is walking a diplomatic tightrope as he seeks to strengthen ties with Canada, the G7 host nation, while keeping the US president, who has repeatedly threatened to annex the country, on side. On Sunday, Downing Street confirmed efforts to revive stalled trade negotiations between London and Ottawa after a bilateral meeting between Sir Keir and Mark Carney. In warm words at the top of the talks, the UK leader challenged Mr Trump's call for Canada to become a '51st state', speaking of the importance of Britain's relationship with the country as 'independent, democratic sovereign countries'. In recent months, the UK has held a series of engagements aimed at securing a reduction in the tariffs Mr Trump imposed on Britain and the rest of the world on April 2. Along with 10% tariffs on all British goods, the president imposed 25% levies on cars and steel. He later increased the tariff on steel to 50%, but gave the UK a reprieve, keeping its rate at 25% until at least July 9. Under the broad terms of last month's agreement, the US will implement quotas that will effectively eliminate the tariff on British steel and reduce the tariff on UK vehicles to 10%. The White House has also voiced concerns about plans to build a Chinese embassy near London's financial centres, with reports suggesting the issue has been raised in trade talks. The redevelopment proposals for the former site of the Royal Mint were called in last year, and ministers will now have the final say on whether the project goes ahead. On his way to the G7, Sir Keir was asked by reporters whether he was confident the matter would not undermine efforts to complete the trade deal, and whether US objections would be taken into consideration in the Government's decision-making. He said: 'We will act in our own national interest at all times on any issue including in relation to the embassy. 'We will carefully balance what is in our national interest in any decision that we take.' Sir Keir faces a busy week of diplomacy as leaders from the world's major economies descend on a luxury mountain lodge in the Rockies amid spiralling conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. As well as heads of government from Canada, the US, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is also expected to attend the conference. The Prime Minister told reporters he had a 'good relationship' with the US president, which is 'important' at a time of heightened global instability. 'I've been saying, for probably the best part of six months now, we're in a new era of defence and security, a new era for trade and the economy,' he said. 'And I think it's really important for Britain to play a leading part in that, and that's what I'll be doing at the G7, talking to all of our partners in a constructive way. 'And I'm very pleased that I have developed good relations with all the G7 leaders.' He also warned that G7 allies would discuss imposing further sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin continues to resist calls for an unconditional ceasefire. 'My long-standing view is, we need to get Russia to the table for an unconditional ceasefire,' he said. 'We do need to be clear about we need to get to the table and that if that doesn't happen, sanctions will undoubtedly be part of the discussion at the G7.'
