We’re thrilled to welcome Klest Dedja to the Predikt team! 🎉 Klest joined us earlier this month as an AI Research Engineer, bringing a wealth of expertise from his PhD in Explainable AI at KU Leuven. 🤔 Why does explainability matter in AI for forecasting? In today’s complex and fast-changing financial world, leaders need not only accurate predictions but also clear insights into the ‘why’ behind those forecasts. With Klest on board, we’re elevating our proprietary IP to new heights—making AI not just smarter, but more transparent and actionable. Klest, we’re excited to have you as part of our journey to revolutionize financial forecasting and empower leaders with Confidence Intelligence.

About us
At Predikt, we empower finance leaders to navigate today’s complex and volatile market landscape with clarity, certainty, and confidence. In a world where macroeconomic shocks and shifting local dynamics make forecasting harder than ever, we bring CFOs the insights they need to make impactful, data-driven decisions. Our solution combines advanced data analytics, AI, and expert insights to create Confidence Intelligence—a pioneering approach to financial forecasting that doesn’t just predict outcomes but strengthens trust in those predictions. By integrating external market data, economic indicators, and internal financial metrics, Predikt enables CFOs to assess risks, identify opportunities, and build proactive, informed strategies. We understand that group CFOs juggle both a bird’s-eye view and the complexities of local markets. Predikt empowers them to have better conversations with local teams, challenge assumptions, and lead confidently, even in the face of uncertainty. Predikt exists to democratize confidence in financial forecasting, transforming how finance teams approach planning, budgeting, and risk management. Together, we’re redefining the role of the CFO—elevating them from financial stewards to strategic, growth-driving leaders. Using advanced predictive models that incorporate external data, we ensure transparency, automation, and precise insights. This allows businesses to dynamically evaluate various scenarios, aligning plans and forecasts with objective, algorithm-driven projections of future trends. Our approach transforms strategic decision-making, fostering resilience and empowering businesses to thrive amid market volatility. Founded in 2023 by a Swiss-Belgian team, Predikt is committed to democratizing cutting-edge predictive technology, equipping professionals to make decisions easier and turn uncertainty into strategic advantages.
