Antmicro among semi-finalists of IPSO Challenge 2015
Published:
“The Internet Protocol for Smart Object (IPSO) Alliance has selected the top 10 entries for the third annual IPSO CHALLENGE. Entries represented IoT/M2M innovations in industrial, medical, commercial manufacturing, agricultural, home, sports/fitness, environmental and IoT technology”, reads the official press release published by the IPSO Challenge team. “The next step towards winning the $10,000 grand prize is for semi-finalists to successfully build a prototype. A panel of experts will then evaluate each entry on its design, deployment, ease of use and marketability.”
Antmicro is delighted to announce that its Smart Display with XML-defined GUI project has found itself among the distinguished few.
Nick Ashworth, Engineering and Technology Director at Eaton and Chair of the IPSO Challenge notices: “It becomes more challenging each year to select the 10 IPSO Challenge semi-finalists, reflecting the pace of innovation and adoption in the IoT. IPSO Alliance is proud to foster new companies and emerging products that have the potential to impact how we live and work.”
“Inspired by the great people we have the pleasure of working with, we decided to show the community what happens when you bring together things and ideas – a concept that lies at the very heart of IoT. Having joined the IPSO Alliance, Antmicro welcomes the opportunities created by promoting new technologies and opening up new horizons,” says Michael Gielda, Antmicro’s Business Development Manager. “We are eager to present our Smart Display and confident it will push the boundaries of what we have seen so far.”
