Our Call for Robotics Start-ups is open to any company:
- founded in the past 5 years

The 2015 Finalists on stage
- Silas Adekunle, Reach Robotics (Winner – United Kingdom)
- Akos Domotor, Optoforce (Hungary)
- Bill Culley, Empire Robotics (United States)
- Simone Schürle, Magnebotix (Switzerland)
- Patrick Thevoz, Flyability (Switzerland)
- La startup britannique Reach Robotics a remporté le concours de startups organisé par le salon Innorobo, qui se tient du 1er au 2 Juillet à Lyon. Le concept de robots de combats, connectés et évolutifs, a séduit le jury d’investisseurs. Dans l’univers emprunt de sciences fiction qui règne actuellement dans les allées du salon Innorobo, l’idée folle de Reach Robotics parait totalement géniale. Le salon qui se tient à Lyon jusqu’au 3 Juillet accueillait une compétition de startups, remportée à la mi-journée par la startup de Silas Adekunle, installée à Bristol, UK.

- Thanks again for this great opportunity to be a part of Innorobo. It was a great mix of industry people and general public who showed an interest in our technology and robotics in general. I was able to make a few very good connections that hopefully will prove valuable for us. The pitch event was enjoyable too, I found the judges to be well qualified and engaged in their questions and review. All around, I was very satisfied with the event.
