The 5G Open Innovation Lab has selected 17 technology startups for its first cohort that will take part in its inaugural 12-week virtual program, which seeks to help companies develop new tech applications and markets using 5G.
“Our first program provides start-ups with virtual access to mentors and tools to collaborate directly with technology and business leaders to design and bring to life their vision and dreams for new 5G applications,†Jim Brisimitzis, managing partner of the 5G OI Lab, said in a statement published Tuesday.
The virtual program kicked off in early May and will continue through July 17. The selected companies will collaborate with business advisers and 5G tech professionals through private working sessions and roundtables.
