Intel, Cisco and Deutsche Telekom have teamed up for the second year running, with the joint initiative to drive open innovation in IoT.  Following a successful year in 2015, where the participating start-ups worked alongside Intel, Cisco and Deutsche Telekom on joint IoT projects, the companies will embark on another exciting acceleration programme with a new set of European start-ups. Last year’s success stories include Senic, the German device company, which started a joint smart office project by integrating Nuimo, its smart controller, into Intel chip-based computers and in the Cisco Telepresence System.  Alongside this, Deutsche Telekom will have Senic’s product integrated into Qivicon, its Smart Home platform.

Industry experts and analysts predict that we are heading toward a future where everything is connected. As a result, there’s excitement building around the IoT and anticipation around its potential – it’s a key example of an industry where business is booming. But despite the buzz around IoT, there isn’t yet an end-to-end solution for IoT – this is proving to be a challenge for the industry and its spectators. With an understanding of the wants and constraints around IoT in today’s landscape, Intel, Cisco and Deutsche Telekom have teamed up to address such challenges and to support the next pioneer in the IoT space. The Challenge Up! IoT accelerator is targeted at start-ups that innovate and disrupt their markets, to drive our world to realise the potential of being increasingly connected.
