And the winner of Point.IoT 2020 is… LESS Industries!

The top 10 start-ups developing innovative IoT and GNSS solutions have reached the finish line of Point.IoT. Congratulations to Less Industries for taking out the top prize.

This dynamic team creates IoT monitoring solutions that give their customers real-time information about their operations. They will receive a cash prize of €20,000. Read on to see how they took out the #1 spot.

The top 5 teams from the Demo Day took part in the Tech Tour Space Investment Programme on 15 December with more than 100 participants.

On 8 December all 10 teams participated in a Virtual Demo Day, where they pitched their solutions for solving important industrial problems and challenges. This was the culmination of their hard work after a two-day bootcamp and a three-month technical and business development sprint.

The top 5 teams from the Demo Day were then invited to pitch at the Tech Tour Space Investment Programme pitching sessions on 15 December that saw more than 100 participants join in. They pitched their ideas to a large crowd of investors, experts, and fellow tech start-ups. The Tech Tour Space Investment Programme is designed to help start-ups developing solutions in the space sector or developing applications based on satellite data to secure investments for their product.

The teams pitched for investors such as the UK National Space Academy, ERA Kapital, ALTYN, and Montserrat Corominas. The winners were chosen by an Expert Jury of VC and corporate investors, and are invited to present at the World Tour in March 2021 – LESS Industries included. This exciting opportunity will give LESS Industries the chance to present their solution to all the winners from the different Tech Tour Programmes along with a great number of investors and guests from Europe, the United States, Eastern Asia, Middle East and Western Africa.

The top five teams to participate in the Tech Tour Space Investment Programme were LESS Industries, Dronetag, Epic Blue, Precision Navigation Systems, and ELIKO.
