Everything IoT has announced the 11 startups chosen to pitch their ideas at the annual Australian Summit this year. The winning startup will receive the opportunity to participate in the Everything IoT Global Leadership Summit in Tel Aviv next month.
The Everything IoT Summit is now in its second year and is part of a partnership with Israel’s Global IoT Summit, giving local startups the opportunity to showcase Australia’s innovative IoT solutions.
Eitan Bienstock, founder of Everything IoT said a good range of startups have been chosen working in various different industries. These startups range from workplace safety management to smart lighting systems and even a virtual shephard.
“We’re excited that we have chosen the Ocean’s Eleven,” said Bienstock. “We chose 11 companies that will be showcasing and pitching in the StarUp section of the conference where we’re looking for the best Australian innovation in IoT.”
The 11 startups will have three minutes to present their products and services to a panel of expert judges including the general manager of strategy, market vision and innovation at CSIRO, Dr. Elizabeth Eastland, cofounder of Blackbird Ventures, Bill Bartee, managing partner at AirTree Ventures, Craig Blair and CEO of MOQDigital, Nicki Page.
Of the 11 startups, one will receive sponsored flight tickets for a trip to Israel to present and participate in the IoT Israel Summit on November 14. Included in the trip will be a bespoke tour of Tel Aviv’s startup ecosystem including its range of accelerators, incubators, mentors and homegrown startups.
Throughout the Everything IoT Summit corporates will be looking for startups that present synergies with their business models and will look to support them depending on the solutions they offer. A people’s choice award will also be given on the day to the audience favourite, which will also be invited on the trip.
Chris McLaren, partner at KPMG, and one of the sponsors of Everything IoT said “We are proud to support Everything IoT, which brings together industry startups, government, research and investors in a collaborative forum to advance the adoption and benefits of IoT in Australia.”
Bienstock said that for Australia to be successful an ongoing engagement with Israel, one of the world leaders in IoT is essential. “Collaboration between startups, entrepreneurs and multinational, industry leaders is now necessary more than ever.”
“Therefore, we are very pleased to announce the long term partnership with IoT Israel Summit and are looking forward to meaningful collaboration between the two ecosystems,” he added.
