As part of the development of the open innovation model, the Polish producer of smart home solutions has established a partnership with the venture capital fund YouNick Mint. This is how FIBARO wants to get the most innovative ideas about the Internet of Things from the market. The upcoming Venture Days is an opportunity for companies and start-ups who want to embody and implement their innovations.

The next edition of YouNick Mint Venture Days startup meetings will take place on February 27, 2018, with FIBARO becoming its partner. The call for projects will include solutions that focus on the Internet Things in the areas of voice biometry, artificial intelligence, Machine Learning, cyber security, BigData and the bradly defined eHealth. In order to take part in the meeting, you should first submit your project via the website www.younickmint.com

YouNick Mint’s collaboration with FIBARO will provide originators with access to industry experts who will help them verify the potential of the idea and advise them how to develop it. The best projects can count not only on a financial investment, but also on extended support, within the framework of which it will be possible to test the solution within FIBARO and ultimately its commercialization and introduction to the market.

FIBARO is a company that has been operating in the Internet of Things for over 7 years, focusing on smart home solutions. A big indicator of the company is the fact that complete production, R&D processes and design take place in Poland.

At FIBARO we are implementing the open innovation model. This means that we are actively looking for innovative solutions outside the company. That’s why we are happy to work with funds such as YouNick. – says Joanna Ossowska Rodziewicz, CEO of Fibar Group Intellectual Property Assets Sp. z o.o. – I believe that the upcoming Venture Days will be full of ideas that we will be able to implement together with their authors.

Meetings with the initiators will take place at YouNick Technology Park at Krzemowa 1 Street in Złotniki near Poznan. The deadline for applications submission is 23.02.
