Dusseldorf's Henkel agrees deal with CognitionX with new AI advice platform

Henkel has entered into a partnership with CognitionX, a comprehensive library of curated AI news and network of experts.

Digital innovation platform, Henkel X - part of German multinational Henkel which owns brands including Persil, Loctite, and Schwarzkopf - is partnering with AI News and Advice Platform CognitionX to give the Henkel X community knowledge on AI deployment.

As of 2019, Henkel X will syndicate curated AI news from CognitionX, which publishes handpicked updates across many industry sectors to encourage its community and provide access to new solutions and opportunities for collaboration.

Dr. Rahmyn Kress, chief digital officer at Henkel, said: “Henkel is proud to have been a family business for 140 years.

“Our challenge, like many major enterprises, is to embrace change. We are focused on solutions to grow internal collaboration and make more use of own enterprise knowledge.

“These latest investments will help Henkel drive a new, entrepreneurial digital culture and ensure we are able to respond to accelerating technological change.”

The news comes at the same time as Founders Forum has met in Dusseldorf, where Henkel is headquartered.

Charlie Muirhead, founder and CEO of CognitionX, added: “It’s now mission critical for organisations to have an AI strategy and start transformation.

“Getting that right means leveraging and developing internal knowledge, as well as accessing external expertise where needed.”

CognitionX’s AI News and Advice Platform helps large organisations share knowledge by matching questions to both internal and external experts.
