Entropy Data is a BARC Start-up Award for Data & AI Finalist

Entropy Data has been selected as one of the five finalists for the BARC Start-up Award for Data & AI 2026.

Out of all submissions, the jury selected a total of five finalists — and Entropy Data is one of them. We will compete against the four other finalists in the live finals at the DATA festival 2026.

Where and when to watch us

If you want to see our pitch live, here is everything you need to know to be in the right place at the right time. The finals are part of the DATA festival 2026, which takes place on June 16–17, 2026 at the Muffatwerk in Munich, Germany. You can follow the finals on-site at the venue or remotely as an off-site participant.

• The pitches — Tuesday, June 16, 4:00–5:00 pm, tech.stage: All five finalists pitch back to back. This is the hour to be at the tech.stage if you want to see Entropy Data present.
• The award ceremony — Tuesday, June 16, 6:15 pm, data.stage: The jury announces the result and the winner of the BARC Start-up Award for Data & AI 2026 is crowned live on stage. Note that this happens on the data.stage, a different stage from the pitches.

So if you are attending the DATA festival: head to the tech.stage on June 16 at 4:00 pm for the pitches, then move over to the data.stage at 6:15 pm for the ceremony. We would love to have you in the room cheering us on.

Being recognized by BARC, one of the most respected analyst firms in the data and analytics space, is a strong validation of our mission: making data products and data contracts the backbone of how organizations manage and trust their data — and giving AI agents the governed context they need to work with enterprise data.

We are looking forward to taking the stage at the DATA festival in Munich and presenting Entropy Data to the jury and the data community. Wish us luck!
