Augmentor promoted and strengthened the capabilities of immersive technology-led startups, enabling them to disrupt current use cases, solve problems across a range of industries and attract the attention of investors and future customers.
Digital Catapult delivered the programme from 2017 to 2021, with valued specialist support from 24 investment and industry partners, 36 mentors and 19 community partners.
The 36 participating startups (in four cohorts) were given access to Digital Catapult’s Immersive Lab facilities Belfast, Brighton, London, Manchester and North East Tees Valley throughout the 12-week programme. These cutting-edge spaces for learning, testing and showcasing extended reality solutions are equipped with a range of the latest immersive equipment across the UK.
Augmentor also backed cross-technology solutions to link immersive with artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), distributed ledger technologies (DLT) and 5G.
