Newsletter December 2018

As 2018 is coming to an end, RoboValley looks back on a constructive year. To name just a few highlights: togehter with our partners, we have built up the fieldlab RoboHouse, organised the first Robotics and AI Accelerator Programme and have just completed the first edition of the Rabo Robo Challenge.

In addition, the RoboValley start-up community expanded, and the start-ups delivered some powerful results. In the field of robotics research some ground-breaking milestones were reached. It is fair to say that in 2018 the community successfully worked together to strengthen our unique robotics ecosystem even further.

We are looking forward to continue collaborating with all of you in the coming year.

On behalf of the RoboValley and RoboHouse team we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2019!
