“We were looking for a specialized partner who enables us to develop our app with speed and flexibility, so we can better serve the Eurovision fans across the globe,“ says Dave Goodman, ESC Digital and Communications Manager for Contest organizers, the European Broadcasting Union.
“We definitely got all of that in Choicely, and more,” Goodman emphasizes.
With Choicely, the app can be built without coding, using a visual drag and drop interface instead – like Wix or Wordpress for mobile apps.
“Despite Choicely being a no code platform, we got a fully tailormade app that matches our needs and our brand. Making improvements is quick and easy. We can focus on engaging our fans!” adds Dave Goodman from the EBU.

Trade in Counterfeit Goods Market Set to Reach €1.67 Trillion in 2030 – Corsearch17.5.2024 01:00:00 EEST | Press release
Corsearch, leading provider of brand protection and trademark solutions, has today shared research predicting that the size of the global trade in counterfeit goods could reach €1.67 trillion by 2030, a 75% increase from that of 2023 and a growth 3.6 times higher than predicted for the global economy over the same period.1 Corsearch calculations estimate that counterfeits accounted for 3.3% of global trade in 2023, and will grow to 5% by 2030 - meaning €1 in every €20 spent globally on products could be spent on counterfeit goods. The total displaced economic activity from counterfeiting in 2022 – namely the cost to brands and manufacturers – totalled €1.02 trillion, resulting in a loss of €162 billion to worldwide sales tax revenue, impacting up to 5.4m jobs.2 In addition to the negative global economic impact of counterfeiting, fake products have a damaging effect on the reputation of brands, reducing customer trust and risking consumer safety. Corsearch has recognised the need for a
