Infiniti and Nest, a leading venture capital firm and innovation partner, have announced the launch of Infiniti Lab Smart Mobility. It is a unique programme created to give founders the opportunity to achieve validation of their businesses over the course of eight weeks. Applications are open from now until 12th February 2017 and the programme will culminate in June 2017.
Infiniti Lab Smart Mobility has a defined objective - to give high-potential start-ups in mobility and connectivity intensive training and mentoring so they can pitch a viable business-use case to Infiniti's senior decision makers and key innovation stakeholders from across the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The eight-week programme is aimed at start-ups that have advanced from the idea stage and are ready to gain validation in a commercial setting. Infiniti calls this an Ignition programme, a stage beyond the traditional Accelerator format.
Infiniti Lab Smart Mobility is part of Infiniti's ongoing commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship; with course content designed specifically to prepare early-stage companies, in the fields of smart mobility and connected technology, for corporate integration. Up to eight start-ups will be selected by an experienced panel before being invited to Singapore from April to June 2017 to join the first-of-its-kind initiative.
