After celebrating 10 years in the US market in 2023, knk is an established leader in streamlining and supporting publishing and media businesses with its best-in-class software solutions. As the Microsoft partner for publishers and the media industry, knk continues to leverage incredible leaps in AI technology to introduce a groundbreaking initiative aimed at further empowering the publishing community.
To mark our first decade in the US market, knk is thrilled to announce the launch of the inaugural knk Scholarship Program. This initiative is a testament to knk’s unwavering commitment to the book publishing industry and its belief in fostering a diverse ecosystem of publishers of all sizes. At a time when maintaining free speech and offering a wide variety of books is more critical than ever, knk’s new scholarship program offers substantial support to smaller publishers.
Program Overview
Over the next five years, knk will provide 10 small publishers with the opportunity to implement its award-winning software for free, a benefit valued up to $100,000 per recipient. This initiative allows smaller publishers to enhance their workflows with knk’s cutting-edge technology, bypassing the significant cost of implementation.
The 2024 scholarship will offer one publisher the free implementation of knk’s standard software package, designed to optimize publishing operations. The program is set to launch on July 23rd, with the first enrollment period ending on October 25th. The first scholarship recipient will be announced by November 8th.
Supporting the Future of Publishing
“After a decade of growth and learning in the US, we at knk are more committed than ever to the people who are the heart of the publishing industry. Our new scholarship program is a reflection of our deep respect for the diverse voices that make up this vibrant community,” said Sebastian Mayeres, CEO at knk Software. “We’re not just investing in technology; we’re investing in the dreams and aspirations of smaller publishers. By offering our scholarship, we hope to empower these passionate individuals to share their stories and ideas with the world, enriching our culture and preserving the invaluable tradition of free speech. It’s an honor for us to support the industry that does so much to educate, inspire, and entertain readers everywhere.”
knk invites publishers to apply for this transformative opportunity and to join the knk family.
