What is Hexagon looking for in a startup?

Our third cohort, consisting of eight innovative start-ups, focused on two key challenges: “Building a sustainable manufacturing future” and “Smart digital reality for collaborative manufacturing.”

These start-ups brought fresh perspectives to critical manufacturing issues, such as enhancing product sustainability, reducing waste, leveraging real-time data, automating design processes, and integrating robotics into production lines.

Our second cohort of eight scaling start-ups answered challenges in the areas of Visualisation and Digital Reality and Intelligence and Automation. From augmented reality video customer support to AI-powered connected worker tools and contactless measurement, we were impressed with their innovative ideas and appetite for growth.

Our first cohort of seven scaling start-ups answered challenges in the areas of smart manufacturing, AI and automation. From traceability in additive manufacturing parts, to machine learning algorithms and AI digital twins, we were impressed with their innovative ideas and appetite for scale. Our work with winner RIIICO continues today.
