We're thrilled to announce that ICS.AI has been named as one of the UK's leading AI companies, securing the 9th position in TechRound's prestigious AI 35 list for 2025!
TechRound's AI 35 celebrates the most innovative entrepreneurs and companies pioneering the AI space. As the UK's fastest-growing start-up and tech news site, TechRound is where decision-makers, investors, and businesses come to discover the latest developments in the industry.
This recognition highlights our commitment to delivering cutting-edge AI solutions for the public sector. Since our founding in 2018, we've been dedicated to helping local and central government, education, and healthcare organisations harness the power of AI while maintaining human connection at the core of their services.
Our solutions handle 3.9 million AI transactions annually and are helping councils deflect 40% of calls. Derby City Council's latest deployment of the UK's first public sector generative AI phone assistant achieved an 84% reduction in transferred switchboard call volumes during peak times on its first day, while Coleg y Cymoedd delivered over £5.9 million in financial benefits with a record 18% increase in enrolments in just one year.
This impact has not gone unnoticed at the highest levels, with ICS.AI recently being recognised in Parliament for our contributions to public sector AI innovation. The recognition highlighted our role in helping government bodies deliver more efficient and accessible services through responsible AI implementation.
Building on these successes, our recently launched SMART: Staff Copilot continues this tradition of innovation, helping council staff save up to one day per week in productivity while projecting £5 million in savings for mid-sized local authorities. We're proud that our practical applications of AI are making a meaningful difference.
What the judges said:
The judges were particularly impressed by companies that use AI technology to solve real problems for businesses and consumers.
“AI won’t necessarily replace humans, but it will make us far more efficient. The entries in TechRound's AI 35 will collectively save billions of human hours, allowing us to focus on what really matters... Anyone can slap “AI” on a website, but these submissions used the technology to solve real problems for businesses and consumers alike, making the entries feel less like hype and more like meaningful progress.”
Joshua Browder, CEO and Founder at DoNotPay.com
Chelsea Chamberlin, Chief Technology Officer at Roc Technologies, noted:
“What really captured my attention was the way organisations are leveraging advances in technology to make tangible differences to our local and global societies. The use of AI to give voices to those who battle to be heard, to protect those most vulnerable, and to bridge the gap between business growth and sustainability are truly inspiring.”
This sentiment was echoed by Adetoyese Kola-Balogun, Founder at Tenantpro:
"What stood out to me were the start-ups applying AI in real, tangible ways, whether improving healthcare outcomes, streamlining operations, or unlocking new value in legacy industries. The future of AI is in good hands if this cohort is anything to go by."
As we continue to grow our team and expand our capabilities, this recognition from TechRound reinforces our position as a trusted partner in AI transformation aligned with the UK Government's AI Action Plan.
Thank you to our dedicated team, partners, and clients who have made this achievement possible. We're excited to continue our journey of innovation and growth in the AI space!
