What Event Registry does

Event Registry d.o.o., operating commercially as NewsAPI.ai, is a Slovenia-based (Ljubljana) AI company that collects, annotates, and structures global news from 150,000+ sources in 60+ languages. Its technology stack is built around a Wikipedia-based semantic annotation engine that performs entity recognition and disambiguation, categorization into a 5,000+-topic taxonomy, sentiment analysis, duplicate detection, and event-level clustering of related articles. A historical archive dating to 2014 supports longitudinal research and trend analysis. The company exposes this capability through two distribution channels: a self-serve token-based News API priced publicly from a free 2,000-token tier to $400/month enterprise plans, and a direct-sales enterprise channel for three web-based products (ER Monitor for real-time alerts, ER Intelligence for trend and impact reporting, and ER Compare for competitive benchmarking), plus an ESG Dataset module covering 700,000+ companies.

The customer base spans large enterprises, financial institutions, governments, supranational organizations, and consulting firms, with named users including the United Nations, World Bank, OECD, Bloomberg, IBM, Airbus, Disney, BASF, Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey, PwC, Accenture, Barclays, Huawei, and Spotify. Revenue is generated through usage-based API subscriptions, recurring platform subscriptions, freemium conversion, and bespoke enterprise agreements with MSAs and SLAs backed by a 99.99% uptime commitment. The company runs an API-first plus sales-assisted hybrid go-to-market, supported by developer self-service (Python and Node.js SDKs, sandbox, documentation), content marketing via its blog, and limited paid acquisition on Google Ads. In 2024 it processed 52 million searches. Funding history is primarily non-dilutive: a 2016 Google Digital News Initiative grant, and EU-co-funded collaborations including the Graph-Massivizer Horizon project and a 2024 RRI project with Triglav Skladi valued at €587,490. Leadership is led by CEO and co-founder Gregor Leban.
