Pioneers Discover is pleased to share the names of the 15 finalists chosen by Kapsch for its Factory1 global accelerator program. Our consultancy arm scouted all of the 193 startups who completed applications for the mobility-focused program, in which the four winners stand to win €160,000 in equity-free funding, acceleration days, Proof of Concept opportunities and four months of business development.
This lucky quartet will be decided after the final pitching day, which takes place in Vienna on February 27th. The group of 15 finalists is the result of a careful selection process from the long list of startups who applied following our worldwide outreach, and then a round of remote video pitches. Following these presentations to the jury and Kapsch board members, the global technology company has selected the following to travel to Vienna (at Kapsch expense) and present their mobility solutions in person.
