这是一个由汽车支持的大型孵化器和加速器的清单,这些孵化器和加速器致力于创新,并与初创企业合作,涉及从联网移动性到自主车辆和智能城市解决方案的方方面面。在我们进入这个名单之前,有一点背后的话可以解释为什么Lucep在写关于汽车和汽车技术的文章。
Lucep最近被选为梅赛德斯-奔驰支持的加速器初创企业Autobahn在新加坡的第二批初创企业之一。
这八家初创企业(Lucep、Apvera、Botbot.ai、Glass Security、Joytu.be、Mentorica、Overlay和Wavek)将致力于解决梅赛德斯-奔驰作为其汽车技术测试和研究的一部分所使用的解决方案。如果你的购车过程很快被Lucep技术所推动,不要惊讶。 这让我们思考了汽车行业的其他部门是如何吸引和培育技术初创企业的。下面是一个关于所有大型汽车孵化器和加速器的综述,这些都是为那些正在开发未来汽车技术的初创公司准备的,你很快就会在车上看到这些技术。
Automotive Technology Incubators and Accelerators by Big Auto
This is a list of Big Auto-supported incubators and accelerators that are championing innovation and working with startups on everything from connected mobility to autonomous vehicles and smart city solutions. Before we get to the list, a bit of the backstory that explains why Lucep is writing about cars and automotive technology.
Lucep was recently selected as one of the eight startups included in Mercedes-Benz-backed accelerator Startup Autobahn’s second batch in Singapore.
The eight startups (Lucep, Apvera, Botbot.Ai, Glass Security, Joytu.be, Mentorica, Overlay, and Woke) will be working on solutions that can be used by Mercedes-Benz as part of their automotive technology testing and research. Don’t be surprised if your car buying process is soon powered by Lucep technology.
It got us thinking about how the rest of the automotive sector is engaging tech startups and nurturing them. So here’s a roundup of all the Big Auto-supported incubators and accelerators for startups that are developing automotive technologies of the future that you will see in your vehicles very soon.
