Welcome to

Twilio’s ‘EMEA Star Builder’ initiative

Congratulations to the winners of EMEA Star Builder 2025! We were looking to find the companies that are building the future with the help of Twilio's solutions and we are pleased to announce the results.

In first place, we have our fantastic EMEA Star Builder winner - AUTO1 Group! They work closely with Twilio to connect and communicate across their European digital car trading network. And our wonderful runners-up are Iglu Cruise and Immobiliare! Iglu Cruise is using Twilio Flex deployed via Ciptex RACE, a contact centre solution, to deliver a fully omnichannel contact centre experience.

Immobiliare collaborates with Twilio to connect real estate agents and developers with buyers across Italy.

Huge thanks to everyone who entered EMEA Star Builder this year! We were truly impressed with all the entries, which showcased incredible innovation with the help of Twilio and we look forward to running the initiative again!
