Several StartUp Hub companies have recently left the nest as entrepreneurs ready to conquer their markets, while new startups have entered the Hub eager to start making their ideas come to life. The accelerator programme supplies the companies with everything from business advice to practical assistance in developing prototypes and third party assistance from i.e patent agents. Let’s take a look at the three companies leaving, Purple Robotics, Tendo and Ztove and the three startups entering the Hub, Lorenz Technology, FarmDroid and Happtec.
September saw the addition of three new startups in the StartUp Hub while three promising companies left, all tuned to the global robotics scene and fit for growth. Since Purple Robotics entered the Hub one year ago, they have been running full steam ahead. Three former Universal Robots employees, they entered the Hub more experienced than some and before they left had two patented products, their vacuum gripper and their quick-change interface for collaborative tooling. On their last official day in the Hub, OnRobot announced that they had acquired the company. The Purple Robotics team will now join the OnRobot family as part of their development department.
“It’s great to see yet another company from our robotics incubator fully-fledged and equipped for growth. It’s pivotal to the progress of the robotics cluster on Funen that we succeed in creating a topnotch framework for the very best of our entrepreneurs. We need to help these promising startups become successful and experienced companies in order for us to support the ambition that is to make the robotics ecosystem on Funen the world leader in the development and application of robots”, says Peter Rahbæk Juel, Mayor of Odense.
