Evaluate Recognized for Artificial Intelligence Innovation in 9th Annual AI Breakthrough Awards Program
Ninth Annual Program Honors the AI Innovators Shaping the Next Era of Global Innovation
LONDON, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Evaluate, a Norstella company and the leading global provider of market insights for the pharmaceutical industry, today announced that Ask Ella has been named “Enterprise AI Search Solution of the Year” in the 9th annual AI Breakthrough Awards program. The awards are conducted by AI Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market today.
Embedded in the Evaluate Pharma platform, Ask Ella goes beyond conventional search bars. It breaks down complex questions into the right sequence of queries, reasons across Evaluate's proprietary data, and returns structured, traceable answers in seconds - without disrupting users' workflows. The solution synthesizes complex datasets into clear, actionable insights, helping users understand market dynamics, competitor activity, and portfolio impact.
“This recognition affirms what we're building toward-a future where life sciences organizations can turn trusted data into critical decisions in seconds, not weeks” said Mike Gallup, CEO of Norstella. “With more than two dozen AI agents already live, and in production, Norstella is driving faster, more accurate decisions across forecasting, trial design, market access, and patient activation. When our clients move faster and smarter, the patients waiting for life-changing therapies are the ultimate beneficiaries.”
Ask Ella delivers measurable productivity improvements while maintaining the accuracy standards that pharma demands. Critically, it manages the complexity of navigating against complex sets of data autonomously, against the industry’s most trust data set. In doing so, it provides users with significant time savings, enabling them to focus on strategic decision making.
“Ask Ella is just part of our AI vision across all of our Norstella solutions” said Suzanne Caruso, Clinical & Strategic Intelligence President of Norstella. “Ask Ella is one proof point in a much larger shift in how our clients want to work within our solutions. Later this year we introduce our agentic platform built to harness, synthesize, and act on the most complex biopharma data in the industry.”
For nearly a decade, the AI Breakthrough Awards have researched, analyzed and recognized the most important advances in artificial intelligence, and this year's field is the strongest yet. Thousands of nominations from over 20 countries poured in across categories including Agentic AI, Generative AI, Computer Vision, AIOps, Robotics, Natural Language Processing and industry-specific AI applications – underscoring the explosive global growth of AI and its importance as the defining technology of our time.
