Infiniti Motor Company, Ltd. and Nest - a leading venture capital firm and innovation partner - have announced the official launch of Infiniti Lab Smart Mobility. The announcement was made at a launch event, which brought together entrepreneurs, business leaders, Government officials, and influencers alike to meet the first cohort of seven high-potential start-ups in the areas of smart mobility and connected technology.
Infiniti Lab is committed to advancing entrepreneurs through every stage of their journey. This unique programme gives high-potential start-ups in mobility and connectivity the opportunity to pitch viable business-use cases to Infiniti's decision makers. This eight-week programme is a first-of-its-kind, and is geared towards start-ups that have advanced from the idea stage and are ready to gain validation in a commercial setting.
Each of the start-ups involved will receive dedicated mentorship guidance over the eight-week programme, from industry experts at Infiniti and Nest as they tailor and refine their business models. This will culminate in a Demo Day on 8th June 2017, where the entrepreneurs will pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors to secure partnerships and funding that will help propel their businesses to the next phase. They will equally have the chance to pitch their business case to key decision makers from Infiniti and the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
