5th Edition Industry 4.0 Startup Participants

It’s that time of year, the next-generation Industry 4.0 Startups will be announced for the 5th Edition of the BIND 4.0 Open Innovation Platform! The selected startups have presented their state of the art solutions to our Corporate Partners and have agreed to collaborate on exciting industry pilot projects for the duration of our 6-month program.

International Startups Captivated by our Industry 4.0 Platform

This summer, we received 750 applications from 73 countries, the highest amount of international startups so far, and the largest total amount of startup applicants in BIND 4.0 history! We saw so many exciting technologies presented, from big data and robotics to IoT smart sensors and artificial intelligence applied to all areas of industry. We look forward to witnessing the implementation of these solutions in the Advanced Manufacturing, Food, Energy, and Health sectors.

BIND 4.0 Collaborations put Innovation into Action

From the 750 applicants, more than 100 next gen startups were selected to pitch their solutions directly to our 57 Corporate Partners looking to collaborate. After the pitching sessions, the Corporate Partners deliberated then made their decisions on which startups they’d like to work with for the 2021 edition. Today, we are pleased to announce the names of the 31Participating Startups for the 5th edition of our esteemed program.

Award Winning Program, Improving the Business Environment

BIND 4.0 has long been considered an international benchmark program and in November 2020, received an award from the EEPA (European Enterprise Promotion Awards) for our work Improving the Business Environment. As we head into our 5th edition, this award is confirmation of the impact we have had through the acceleration of startups and it is formal recognition of our on-going commitment to business development through collaboration between private companies and public institutions.
