NCRIoT is an organization that represents a network of technologists, engineers, business leaders, academics, policy makers, and entrepreneurs, all of whom have a stake in the Internet of Things industry. NC RIoT’s mission is to formalize the Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, and Chapel Hill region as a global hub for IoT innovation. Companies ranging from startups to international heavyweights meet frequently to exchange ideas, to learn new technologies, and to create new opportunities. Their Fall 2019 Accelerator Program just announced the eight companies selected for its next incubator. And they are an impressive group.
RIoT’s Fall 2019 RIoT Accelerator Program (RAP) includes Internet of Things companies that are tackling everything from taking down pesky backyard pests to better protecting newborns in the NICU.
The RIoT Accelerator Program is industry and stage agnostic, but we are looking for interesting, viable IoT solutions and strong teams. This cycle we received the highest volume of applicants to date.
