In October 2016, nine enterprising startups from around the world came to London to participate in the Startupbootcamp IoT | Connected Devices accelerator program. As an official partner of the program, Farnell element14 has been following the startups as they take part in an intense program of events aimed at helping them to secure funding and prepare their products for the global market.

We met up with the startups midway through the program to find out about how they were progressing. They talked about their main focus areas, the challenges and opportunities they've encountered and their plans for the forthcoming Demo Day, where they ultimately went on to present their products in front of a room of potential investors.
