Eurostars project looking for Partners

Sairmais is a recently created start-up with a long term objective to revolutionize the way people search and share tourism information and do reservations on the Internet. We are crazy about innovation and think that new tools are needed to take internet to the next level: the semantic web. The sairmais.com (still on beta stage) is a one stop portal for tourism information with a inbuilt social network and georeferenced content.

Sairmais expertise
We have expertise on advanced web development technologies, Search Engine Optimization, and development of contents to the tourism business.

Sairmais contribution to the project
Our contribution is mainly related to the implementation of the web platform, the social network and tourism related contents.

Type of partners searched: We are looking for a partner to help us build a web recommender system supported on the social network and the evaluations of users (either quantitative and tags). We are also looking for partners interested in sharing expertise & technologies on tourism portals.

If you are interested in the project, please send an e-mail to Armando at sairmais@gmail.com.
