This year, iSignthis honoured the undergraduate students’ outstanding academic performance and excellence in the courses of artificial intelligence (AI), image processing, systems security and logic programming.

The students have already been awarded their prizes of EUR 1,500 each after the completion of their degree and have received their honorary plaques during a special ceremony last month by the company’s representative, Or Kapelinsky, Chief Operating Officer, of Australian and Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed iSignthis Ltd.
