OxValue.AI Makes WAIC SAIL Award Global Top 30 in Debut Entry
23 July 2026
The WAIC SAIL Award has attracted more than 4,500 entries since its launch eight years ago. In its first year of application, OxValue.AI has been named to this year’s Global Top 30.
The World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) is one of the world’s leading AI gatherings, having brought together more than 8,100 scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders since its founding. The SAIL Award (Super AI Leader Award) is WAIC’s highest honour, recognising AI projects for genuine industry impact and social value across four measures: Superior, Applicative, Innovative, and Leading.
As an Oxford University spinout bringing AI-powered IP and technology valuation to a global stage, being named among the Top 30 out of hundreds of entries represents a meaningful signal of recognition. We extend our thanks to the WAIC organising committee, and to our team for the work behind this achievement.
