Intel India showcased projects by seventeen start-ups which have utilized its India Maker Lab facilities.
The Bengaluru campus hosted the first Maker Lab Startup Conclave and Demo Showcase.
The ‘Intel India Maker Lab’ was set up about a year ago to help startups accelerate their hardware and systems innovation towards creation of new products and solutions by offering infrastructure, technology, tools, and mentorship support.
According to Intel, these start-ups have used Maker Lab in the areas of education, sports, health, agriculture, BFSI, and e-governance, across IoT, Cloud, and Client Compute.
Nine out of 17 start-ups have already launched their products in the market and five have their products ready and are moving to customer trial stage. Meanwhile, the remaining three are in the design stage.
“It’s very gratifying to see a slew of innovative products and solutions in the areas of education, sports, health, agriculture, BFSI and e-governance developed by the hardware and systems startups using the Intel India Maker Lab,”said Jitendra Chaddah, senior director, Strategy & Operations, Intel India.
“These solutions will help solve real consumer and business needs and contribute towards realizing the Digital India and Make in India vision.”
Intel said the objective of this initiative is to collaborate with the Government in developing and encouraging entrepreneurial and innovation talent in India.
The Maker Lab supported seven startups that came out of Department of Science & Technology (DST).
