Marita McGinn led the conversation, showcasing the MassRobotics Startup Accelerator that consists of non-dilutive financing and a durable educational program concentrated on service along with robotics equipment difficulties. Applications for this program are open via November 30^th 2023 and approved firms will certainly be in-person at MassRobotics in Boston, from February 5^th via May 1^st with a last display at the Robotics Top & Exposition in Boston on May 1-2.

Congratulations to Champion of the Pitchfire competition: Glidance.

The sessions finished the 2^nd day with a conversation with popular robotics collections from Boston and Pittsburgh, reviewing their beginnings, their meaning of a “collection” and what it requires to develop a solid neighborhood and ecological community. The conversation was led by Ward Mop, Stimulant from Advanced Innovation and Advancement Facility in Atlanta and understandings were supplied by Joyce Sidopoulos, our founder and Principal of Workflow at MassRobotics and Jennifer Apicella, Exec Supervisor of the Pittsburgh Robotics Network.

We mored than happy to see and meet many of our companions at the program, consisting of: FESTO, Harmonic Drive, Dassault Solutions, AMD, maxon and linked network companion Ruland.

We additionally had the ability to meet numerous of our resident start-ups consisting of: Wibotic, Glidance, Aivot, Cobionix, USPositronics, Haply and RasLabs!!
