Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

mHUB Accelerated Incubation selected 9 IIoT startups to participate in the inaugural cohort of the accelerator. The teams, who arrived in Chicago in Spring of 2021, are being guided through a rigorous product development cycle, including prototyping, mentorship, business modeling, and piloting. Strategically supported by corporate partners, Avnet and Panduit, these teams will have access to 18-months of continued support from mHUB after participating in the initial 6-month accelerator.
