Smart IoT Product Challenge asks start-ups to demonstrate ideas using the nRF9160 SiP-powered Tributech OEM module
Nordic Semiconductor tells Incisor.tv that it is helping to uncover the next generation of cellular IoT innovators by providing its sponsorship and support of Tributech Solutions’ ‘Smart Product Challenge for IoT Solutions’. The Austrian IoT data asset management technology company is calling on European start-ups that want to develop smart, secure connected products using innovative sensor hardware and connectivity technologies to enter the contest that offers a €33,000 ($37,000) prize pool, including a €5,000 ($5,600) cash prize for the winner.
Free product development kit
To enter the contest, start-up companies headquartered in Europe must upload a pitch deck and online application form to the competition website by March 25, including details of their smart product idea and the technology it will employ, as well as the benefits to the end customer.
