The start-up companies Fizyr and Intespring have been selected to enter the RobotUnion accelerator programme. They're part of a group of in total 20 companies that successfully pitched in front of a panel of experts last week in San Sebastian (Spain). RoboValley is a partner of RobotUnion. Fizyr develops and licenses deep learning vision software and Intespring designs the smallest and most lightweight exoskeletons in the world. Both start-ups are based in RoboValley.

It was the event we have worked towards since the founding of RoboValley: the International Robotics Week. Last week, we were able to show the whole world what RoboValley has built in the past years and what RoboValley stands for: connecting robots and people worldwide. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the International Robotics Week: our partners from Robo Business Media, Chrysalix, Accenture, Rabobank, InnovationQuarter, the city of Delft, the Innovation Attaché Network and the speakers and visitors. Integrating RoboBusiness Europe, TUS Expo and ROS Industrial in one event turned out to be a huge success. For three days, experts in the field of robotics and unmanned systems, and their robots and drones, from all over the world gathered in the Netherlands. The week saw an expo and conference in the World Forum The Hague, tours to labs of the Delft University of Technology and demonstration days in the port of Rotterdam (unmanned harbour) and former airport Valkenburg (drone show).
