The Cisco Internet of Things Grand Challenge

I have just entered Uniqarta in Cisco’s competition focused on the Internet of things. In Cisco’s words: “This global open competition aims to recognize, promote and reward innovators, entrepreneurs and early-stage startup businesses that can help us transform the industry by connecting the unconnected.”

The competition involves three rounds with the last taking place in September/October involving six finalists. Making the finals would bring Uniqarta some good publicity, access to Cisco expertise, and a crack at the $250K prize money.

You can view our entry here. It also provides a preview of how I intend to position the company to investors. If you are extra motivated go ahead and vote for our entry by clicking the thumbs-up “like it” button at the top right. (You’ll need to register first.)  Entries receiving large numbers of votes will get more attention and the entry with the most votes gets an automatic entry into the semi-finals.  Spread the word!
