Accedia part of IAOP 2026 Global 100®, Championing AI Excellence

Accedia celebrates selection for the 2026 Global 100® by IAOP®. This recognition marks a fourth consecutive year that we have been honored among the world’s most elite service providers, further solidifying our place as a distinguished representative of the Bulgarian and CEE technology sectors.

Our inclusion in the 2026 list comes after a landmark year for the company’s AI capabilities investments. Recently recognized at the 2025 GSA Awards as AI/Digital Champion of the Year, we continue to empower global enterprises to adopt AI for practical benefits. Our 2025 client successes span across use cases such as Intelligent Manufacturing and Autonomous Banking, all while prioritizing transparency, security, and measurable ROI.

Accedia’s company-wide engine for AI adoption was recognized for its 2025 evolution that ensures cutting-edge research is converted into repeatable, production-grade outcomes for our clients. By integrating green engineering practices with robust AI governance, we also ensure every solution delivers high impact with a minimized environmental footprint.

While the global outsourcing landscape is vast, Accedia remains consistent in being one of the very few, oftentimes – the only Bulgarian company in IAOP’s flagship industry ranking. As a homegrown success story, our presence reflects the high-tier engineering talent and innovative spirit that the region offers to the global business ecosystem.

“The 2026 Global 100 recognizes organizations that are redefining what excellence looks like in today’s global business ecosystem. We are pleased to recognize Accedia for delivering measurable value, embracing innovation, and demonstrating leadership across governance, talent, and social impact.” > — Debi Hamill, CEO, IAOP®

“Being recognized by IAOP for 2026 is a reflection of our team's drive to move beyond the 'Co-pilot' era into the 'Co-operator' era of AI,” says Nikolay Mutafov, Managing Partner at Accedia.
