May 26, 2025 – Taipei
The 2025 InnoVEX Pitch Contest—Asia’s leading startup platform—held its finals on May 22 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. The top 15 finalists pitched to investors and industry experts, competing on innovation and market potential.
As a leading B2B Lead Generation expert in the Taiwan market, Enspyre has found that many B2B startups struggle to reach their customers. Therefore, Enspyre stepped forward to sponsor the Enspyre Award for 2025 InnoVEX pitch contest, providing practical Lead Generation support to accelerate B2B startups’ go-to-market journey.
Enspyre Award goes to SOIC Marine Solutions and their AI Sailor
The winner, SOIC Marine Solutions (SMS) took home Enspyre’s B2B Lead Generation Services valued at USD $10,000. This award includes strategic consulting, B2B sales training, and outreach to at least 200 potential customers—100 of whom are verified key decision-makers in relevant industries.
Angus, COO of SMS said: “ The Enspyre Award really lights up our presence to the public! We are very delighted to receive the Enspyre Award! We already have some initial ideas for entering the market, and with Enspyre’s marketing support, we’re excited to strengthen our efforts and push our product forward.”
Since the dawn of time, humanity has relied on sailors going out on the seas to transport goods and bring home sea food. But seafaring is still a perilous endeavour, according to the 2023 Maritime Report, vessel incidents account for 60% of all ship losses. SMS therefore developed their “AI Sailor + Auto-Pilot” smart navigation solution, integrating IP cameras, GPS, echo sounders, radar, AIS, and an AI-based autopilot system to enable high-precision situational awareness and assisted navigation.
Their technology also gained them a close partnership with famed Swedish company Beijer Electronics. Enspyre is ready to work with them to expand their presence with Taiwan ship owners.
Elias Ek, CEO of Enspyre, stated: “We looked upon their technology and market potential, and we know we can help them reach Taiwanese ship owners. We are looking forward to our collaboration in the following year.”
