OracleVoice: Oracle To Welcome 17 Startup Accelerator Participants At Oracle OpenWorld

Seventeen startups from around the world will showcase their digital innovations this year at Oracle OpenWorld, displaying everything from intelligent contact hubs for customer engagement to an innovation-and talent-sourcing platform to a maintenance application that uses deep learning to predict when industrial equipment is about to malfunction. Participating startups were chosen from the first global class of the Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator program, which gives select technology and technology-powered startups six months of mentoring and other kinds of support--including engagement opportunities with Oracle's more than 400,000 global customers. Thousands of applicants across more than eight countries applied for admission to the program, with judges from Oracle and industry executives scoring each company on the strength of its management team, its use of technology, and market traction. Startups get ready to pitch at Oracle's Startup Cloud Accelerator in Bristol, England. England-based GRAKN.AI is one of the 17 program members traveling to Oracle OpenWorld for the event, October 1 to 5 in San Francisco.
